[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 23rd that it has created a ‘Marine Healing Nordic Walking Course’ where people can experience marine climate healing while walking, in the pristine beach area of Sinji Myeongsasimni, the optimal site for marine healing, as part of the Marine Healing Blue Zone project.

The ‘Marine Healing Nordic Walking Course’ consists of three courses totaling 6.4 km, which are the Lighthouse Healing Path, the Sea Healing Path, and the Forest Healing Path.

Auxiliary facilities have been maintained on each course, including the installation of palm mats and course signboards, and existing old deck facilities have been refurbished along with reinforcement of safety facilities on steep slopes to ensure safe and convenient use for visitors.

The Lighthouse Healing Path is a 2 km section from Myeongsasimni Beach to Seobonggak Lighthouse. Although it has a relatively steep slope and requires more physical effort, upon reaching the Seobonggak Lighthouse observatory, visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Wando Island’s main island harmonized with Wando Tower, the landmark of Wando.

The Sea Healing Path is a 2.6 km section from Myeongsasimni Beach to the entrance of Ulmol, featuring a combination of sandy beach and deck paths, making it an easy course for anyone to use.

The Forest Healing Path is a 1.8 km section from the entrance of Ulmol to Seokhwapo Pier, where beginners can easily walk while enjoying both forest and sea views.

Governor Shin Woo-cheol said, “The Marine Healing Nordic Walking Course, where you can experience marine climate healing while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery of Sinji Myeongsasimni, will be utilized in connection with healing programs once the Marine Healing Center is established.”

The county plans to do its best to maintain the Marine Healing Nordic Walking Course so that it can become a path for the public to heal their mind and body, exhausted from COVID-19.
