[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] The shade shelters that provided cool shade in front of crosswalks during the hot summer have been transformed into Christmas tree decorations.

Dobong-gu (District Mayor Lee Dong-jin) installed Christmas tree sculptures using crosswalk shade shelters (parasols) at seven crosswalk shade shelter locations within the district on the 2nd.

The Christmas trees were made by attaching tree ornaments and accessories to the existing shade shelters, which are covered and stored with covers during the autumn and winter seasons, and then covering them with transparent plastic covers.

The covers display Christmas and New Year messages and are decorated with various ornaments such as snowflakes and LED lights.

The installation locations are ▲ Banghak Cheonggu Apartment Intersection ▲ Banghak Sagye Plaza ▲ East side of Ssangmun Station ▲ In front of Nonghyup opposite Dobong Station ▲ Intersection in front of Changdong Hanaro Mart ▲ In front of the eyeglasses store at Banghak Station Exit 1 ▲ In front of Yeonghun Pharmacy in Changdong.

The locations were selected considering factors such as high pedestrian traffic, sidewalk and vehicle traffic flow, and visibility.

The tree lights automatically turn on about 15 minutes before and after the average sunset time and automatically turn off about 15 minutes before and after the average sunrise time.

Not only utilizing space but also brightly illuminating the surroundings with colorful lights from afar, it delivers warm comfort to residents whose hearts have been frozen due to COVID-19 during the year-end and New Year season.

Lee Dong-jin, Mayor of Dobong-gu, said, “I hope the brightly shining Christmas tree will bring warm comfort to the hearts of residents frozen by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.”
