Jangseong-gun to Reopen 'Jangseongho Waterfront Trail' on the 1st of Next Month

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 27th that it will reopen the Jangseongho Lakeside Trail, which was temporarily closed to prevent the local spread of COVID-19, starting from the 1st of next month.

The Jangseongho Lakeside Trail is a representative tourist attraction in Jangseong-gun, visited by about 10,000 people every weekend. It is popular for its deck path around the lake where visitors can enjoy the magnificent views of the lake and mountains.

Visitors can also enjoy thrilling excitement by crossing the Yellow Suspension Bridge and the Golden Suspension Bridge, and the newly developed ‘Forest Trail’ on the right side of the lake is gaining attention as a premium trekking course.

Earlier this month, as the spread of infectious diseases worsened in neighboring cities and counties, Jangseong-gun closed the Jangseongho Lakeside Trail and postponed the implementation of the voucher exchange system that had been enthusiastically prepared.

The voucher exchange system allows tourists to pay 3,000 won at the exchange office when entering the lakeside trail and receive the same amount in Jangseong Love Vouchers in return. The returned vouchers can be used like cash at 1,450 affiliated stores within the Jangseong area.

Jangseong-gun plans to resume the voucher exchange system along with the reopening of the lakeside trail starting from the 1st of next month.

Yoo Doo-seok, the mayor of Jangseong-gun, said, “We will strengthen quarantine measures and provide a pleasant environment so that residents and tourists can visit the Jangseongho Lakeside Trail with peace of mind. In addition, we will operate the system effectively to contribute to the local economy.”
