[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] A 3km section of the Miryang River bicycle path along the embankment between Yangnim and Sangnam-myeon, Miryang-si, Gyeongnam, is completely covered with Gaura flowers.

Gaura flowers are also called "Butterfly Needle Flowers" because the petals at the end of the long stem resemble butterflies hanging on the flower and dancing whenever the wind blows. They are characterized by continuously blooming white and pink flower buds from early summer to late autumn.

Sangnam-myeon, Miryang, has been promoting the creation of Gaura flower paths since last year, in collaboration with social service organizations and nearby residents, centered around the bicycle path.

Park Tae-sik, head of Sangnam-myeon, said, "We plan to plant various flowers along the 7.4km section of the Miryang River bicycle path from Yerimgyo to Samsanggyo so that many people can heal and create memories in this place."
