[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] To prevent the spread of COVID-19, access to major forests and parks will be restricted from 12:00 PM on December 31 to 9:00 AM on January 1, during the year-end sunset and New Year's sunrise periods.

Busan City will control access to six mountains to prevent crowding at year-end sunset and New Year's sunrise spots: Bongrae Mountain summit, Geumjeong Mountain Ssanggyebong, Baekyang Mountain Bulungnyeong, Jangsan summit, Cheonma Mountain observatory, and Geumjeong Mountain Godangbong.

Additionally, six parks will also be restricted: Amnam Park observatory, Jungang Park Chung-hon Tower, Hwangnyeong Mountain beacon tower and observatory, Igidae Park Oryukdo Skywalk, Dongbaek Park Nurimaru, and Dareumsan Park.

During the restriction period, no-entry lines and banners will be installed at key points, and guidance personnel will be deployed to manage access. The city and district/county offices will jointly form on-site inspection teams to seek citizens' cooperation.

Events within parks are also prohibited during this period. Parks near the coastal roads will be closed, and public parking lots near hiking trails and walking paths will not be operated.
