[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Among the ‘40 Bicycle Routes Embracing the Sea’ selected by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, 18 routes were chosen in Jeonnam Province, the highest number nationwide.

According to Jeonnam Province on the 12th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety received recommendations from local governments across the country to discover hidden bicycle paths, provide new information to cyclists, and help revitalize the local economy of the respective areas.

As a result of the selection, 40 routes from 23 local governments nationwide were chosen along coastal bicycle roads where unique scenery and local color can be experienced. Jeonnam Province included 18 routes from 9 cities and counties, the highest number in the country.

Representative routes include coastal bicycle paths such as Yeosu Geomodo, Goheung Geogeumdo to Sorokdo section, Sinan Imjado, Wando Saengildo, and Gangjinman Ecological Bicycle Path.

In particular, courses that evoke admiration were largely included, such as Sinan Daegwang Beach with its silver sand, Gangjinman reed area boasting ecological value, and the emerald sea of Geomodo bicycle path.

Along with the selection of these bicycle routes embracing the sea, it is expected that more people will visit Jeonnam’s hidden attractions and beautiful nature as contactless travel culture spreads due to the impact of COVID-19.

Detailed information on bicycle routes, viewing points, nearby tourist attractions, and conveniences when using bicycles is posted on the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s Bicycle Happiness Sharing website and Jeonnam Province’s website, and can be downloaded at any time.

A Jeonnam Province official said, “We will further expand convenience facilities for cyclists and maintain infrastructure to ensure smooth accessibility, contributing to the revitalization of the local economy and tourism.”
