Uljin-gun Renames Expo Park to 'Wangpicheon Park' ... "Synergistic Effect with Cable Car Connection"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk Province (Governor Jeon Chan-geol) announced on the 29th that starting January next year, the name of Expo Park will be changed to 'Wangpicheon Park,' and multipurpose playground facilities will be expanded.

The reason for Uljin-gun's name change is to differentiate from Expo Parks scattered nationwide and to maximize tourism synergy effects in connection with the Wangpicheon Cable Car within the park, which opened last July.

Uljin Expo Park was the venue where the Uljin World Eco-friendly Agriculture Expo was successfully held in 2005 and 2009, and it has been loved as a walking spot with various exhibition facilities and harmonious landscaping within the park.

In particular, 'Mangyangjeong,' the boarding and alighting point of the cable car, offers a panoramic view of the beautiful East Coast scenery and is considered one of the Eight Scenic Spots of the Gwandong region.

Jung Ho-gak, head of the Facility Management Office, emphasized, "Taking this opportunity of the park name change, we will focus all administrative efforts on establishing 'Wangpicheon Park' as a representative local tourist attraction by expanding facility investments such as operational know-how and multipurpose playground facilities."
