[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 21st that it has been reborn as the "City of Light" by installing various colors and patterns of LED lights on a trial basis at Jeongyang Leisure Sports Park and the auxiliary dam walking trail as part of the Light Valley Night Content Creation Project.

This project, aimed at creating a stay tourism destination, has invested a total of 3.8 billion KRW since this year and completed areas such as Hapcheon-eup, Daebyeong-myeon, and Hoeyang tourist spots around Hapcheon Lake by 2022.

The area from Hapcheon-eup to Daebyeong-myeon is the core belt of Hapcheon’s tourism industry, featuring Baekri Cherry Blossom Road, the auxiliary dam tourist site, the video theme park, and Hapcheon Lake. However, compared to daytime, nighttime content was insufficient, and there were no streetlights on the roads, resulting in a lack of infrastructure to encourage tourists to stay.

Moon Jun-hee, the mayor of Hapcheon-gun, said, “Through the Light Valley project with high-quality and emotional nighttime lighting, we will make tourists want to stay longer in Hapcheon.”
