[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 23rd that it will begin a pilot operation of the ‘Seoul Metropolitan Mountain Culture Experience Center’ starting from the 25th, ahead of its official opening on May 1st.
The ‘Mountain Culture Experience Center’ features an indoor and outdoor climbing wall, bouldering area, audiovisual room, and adventure experience facilities on the basement first floor. On the first floor above ground, there is a permanent exhibition hall, and on the second floor, a special exhibition hall, allowing visitors to experience various aspects of mountain culture.
A notable attraction is the indoor and outdoor artificial rock climbing walls (maximum height 14.4m, width 31m) and the bouldering area where visitors can experience sport climbing. Here, sport climbing, which is a full-body exercise and can be enjoyed year-round, is easily accessible to people of all ages and genders.
The sport climbing programs are diversified to accommodate individual skill levels, from beginners to advanced climbers. There is also a free climbing class available for individuals to use at their leisure. The usage fees are set lower than those of other private facilities to allow citizens to enjoy the activities without financial burden. The audiovisual room, special exhibition hall, and multipurpose room (bouldering area) are planned to be used as cultural, experiential, and community spaces for citizens, and reservations can be made through the website.
Joo Yong-tae, Director of the Seoul Tourism and Sports Bureau, stated, "The Seoul Mountain Culture Experience Center is a complex and integrated space combining mountains and culture," adding, "Through exhibition programs showcasing mountain culture and sport climbing and adventure experiences that allow people to enjoy mountain sports, we aim to revitalize sports and leisure activities that have been subdued due to COVID-19, contributing to the health improvement and quality of life of our citizens."
