[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 30th, Miryang City in Gyeongnam announced that it will completely cancel the New Year's event for the Year of the Ox within the region.


Accordingly, the city has posted banners requesting refraining from mountain climbing and announcing event cancellations at major points in sunrise viewing spots such as Jongsan Mountain, Chuhwa Mountain, Man-eo Mountain, Dangmari Park, Cheonwangjae, and Yonggungsa Temple, and is actively promoting this through village broadcasts and community leaders in each town, township, and neighborhood.



Mayor Park Il-ho said, "Every year, many tourists visit for the sunrise viewing, but this year, to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and to ensure the safety of families and neighbors, it was inevitably canceled," and added, "We ask for the citizens' understanding and hope that this New Year will be safely spent at home with family."
