[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] Mokpo City, Jeollanam-do, has decided to restrict access to sunrise viewing spots such as Yudalsan Mountain to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

According to Mokpo City on the 28th, it is expected that many visitors will flock to sunrise viewing spots like Yudalsan, Ipamsan, and Yang-eulsan on New Year's Day. Therefore, as part of special measures to strengthen quarantine during the year-end and New Year holidays, the city plans to restrict access to these locations.

To this end, from the 24th of last month until January 3rd of next year, banners indicating restricted access will be posted at key points within each sunrise viewing spot to limit entry.

In particular, on December 31st and January 1st, access will be completely restricted by installing control lines at the entrances of main hiking trails and walking paths, with public officials deployed to enforce the restrictions.

A city official stated, “Every year, we have held New Year's events with citizens at Yudalsan, but this year, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the event has been canceled and access will be restricted. We ask that you enjoy the New Year's sunrise safely and comfortably from home through TV broadcasts.”
