[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seung-hyun Jeong] Mokpo City is promoting an academic research project to designate the area around Yudalsan Ildeungbawi as a national 'Scenic Site.'

According to Mokpo City on the 6th, Yudalsan is a famous mountain in Mokpo that boasts outstanding scenery, where you can overlook the sea and islands of the southwestern coast and the Mokpo downtown area at a glance. In spring, a flower festival is held with forsythia and cherry blossoms in bloom.

Additionally, various cultural heritages from the Joseon Dynasty to modern times can be observed, such as Dalseongsa Wooden Jizo Bodhisattva Triad (Treasure No. 2011), Dalseongsa Wooden Amitabha Triad Seated Buddha (Jeonnam Provincial Tangible Cultural Property No. 228), Mokpo City History (Jeonnam Provincial Monument No. 21), and Mokpo Opodai (Jeonnam Cultural Heritage Material No. 138).

The city is promoting this research project to designate Yudalsan as a scenic site to protect its flora and fauna and to systematically preserve it by receiving national support for future repair and management.

This project, which covers the entire Yudalsan, will comprehensively investigate the value and feasibility of designating Yudalsan as a scenic site, including its history, folklore, and other cultural environments, as well as its vegetation and landscape natural environments.

A Mokpo City official stated, “Through the designation of Yudalsan as a scenic site, we will establish a foundation to manage and preserve the rich cultural heritage and outstanding scenery, along with enhancing the brand value of Yudalsan, the landmark of Mokpo.”
