Gyeongbuk Sangju Gotgam Park 'Yeonjine Jip' Hangs Gotgam... Popular Experience Space

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The Sangju Dried Persimmon Park in Oenam-myeon, Sangju, Gyeongbuk, known as the "home of dried persimmons," is gaining popularity as a weekend experiential outing space.

According to Sangju City on the 30th, at Sangju Dried Persimmon Park, the process of peeling persimmons picked from about 130 persimmon trees in the park to make dried persimmons is underway in time for the dried persimmon season.

Visitors can observe the process of making dried persimmons through the display of persimmon drying at the "Yeonji's House" featured in the fairy tale related to dried persimmons, "Dried Persimmons Scarier Than Tigers," and can also taste the persimmons as they transform into dried persimmons while hanging.

Recently, word of mouth has spread to nearby areas such as Mungyeong, Uiseong, and Gumi, attracting children from daycare centers and family tourists on outings. In particular, there is often a line to take photos with the persimmon strings as the background.

Sangju Dried Persimmon Park is loved as a photo zone by tourists not only for the persimmon drying scene at Yeonji's House but also for the naturally beautiful autumn scenery of the park, including the brightly colored persimmon tree leaves, persimmon tunnel, Halmi Spring, tiger sculptures, and Gamrakwon.

Mayor Kang Young-seok said, "Sangju City is the home of the 'Three Whites' (silkworm cocoons, dried persimmons, and rice), and dried persimmons from Sangju have been recognized for their top quality since the Joseon King Yejong era when they were presented as tribute." He encouraged visitors, saying, "We hope you enjoy the autumn atmosphere and experience the dried persimmon culture at Sangju Dried Persimmon Park."
