[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jindo County is exhibiting chrysanthemum artworks at major tourist sites including Jindo Tower and throughout the city area until Friday, the 13th.

According to Jindo County on the 6th, to provide comfort and rest to residents weary from the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and to let them feel the autumn atmosphere, the "Jindo Love Chrysanthemum Art Exhibition" is being held, featuring a dispersed display of various chrysanthemum artworks rather than the traditional concentrated arrangement.

The exhibition showcases about 20 types and approximately 8,000 chrysanthemum pieces including sculptural chrysanthemums, bonsai chrysanthemums, Hyunae-style chrysanthemums, and flowerbed chrysanthemums. Visitors must comply with quarantine guidelines such as wearing masks and maintaining social distancing while viewing.

This year, the exhibition is dispersed across Song Ga-in Village, Jindo Dog Theme Park, Arirang Botanical Garden (bonsai exhibition), Jindo-eup Office, Unlim Sanbang, Jindo Tower, and Sol Beach Hotel & Resort Jindo.

Couples and family tourists who viewed the chrysanthemum flowers expressed joy, saying, "The chrysanthemum artworks beautifully decorate photo zones throughout Jindo County’s tourist sites, creating happy memories."

An official from the Jindo County Agricultural Technology Center said, "The Jindo Love Chrysanthemum Art Exhibition is a representative autumn event that has been loved by residents and tourists every year. We hope that residents and tourists struggling due to COVID-19 can find comfort and healing by enjoying the scent of autumn chrysanthemums."
