[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) announced on the 24th that it plans to start the Cheonyeon Chung-hyeon Urban Regeneration Village Exploration Program after September.

The exploration course begins at Exit 2 of Seodaemun Station, passes through various alleys of Chung-hyeon-dong and Cheonyeon-dong, and continues to the Independence Gate Cultural Park.

Participants will walk approximately 1.2 km, exploring 'historical and cultural resources' such as Seodaemun Cathedral, the site of Cheongsugwan, the site of Gyeonggi Junggun Camp, Seokgyo Methodist Church, a hanok cafe, and the birthplace of Na Woon-gyu, as well as 'urban regeneration project sites' including Chungjeongno Food Specialty Street, Cheonyeon Chung-hyeon Urban Regeneration Resident Hub Space, customized rental housing, and Cheonyeon Eoullim Life Culture Center.

Cheonyeon Chung-hyeon urban regeneration village guides will conduct the program under the theme "Old Times in the Heart of Seoul Where Time Layers Overlaps: Cheonyeon Chung-hyeon Village Exploration" for about 2 hours and 30 minutes.

The district recently appointed four guides for this program. They received 13 weeks of training covering village guiding, urban regeneration tours, Cheonyeon Chung-hyeon historical and cultural resources, and scenario writing for explanations, and they directly developed this exploration course.

Moon Seok-jin, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, stated, "We expect the village guides, as local storytellers, to provide citizens with a special experience and impression through interesting guidance on the historical and cultural resources and urban regeneration of the Cheonyeon Chung-hyeon area."

Once the program starts, reservations can be made on the 'Seoul Public Service Reservation' website by selecting 'Seodaemun-gu' as the desired area and 'Education' as the category.
