Hwasun-gun Resumes 'Forest Healing Program' at Manyeonsan Healing Forest

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeonnam Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 24th that it has resumed the operation of the ‘Manyeonsan Healing Forest Forest Therapy Program,’ which had been suspended to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Manyeonsan Healing Forest is an urban forest close to residential areas, making it easily accessible and a popular healing spot for both local residents and tourists.

Previously, in 2017, the county opened a Healing Forest Center here and has been providing forest therapy programs tailored to different life stages by utilizing Manyeonsan’s clean air, phytoncides, negative ions, and beautiful natural scenery, which are abundant forest therapy resources.

This program offers various courses including ▲Forest of Hope (for pregnant women) ▲Forest of Growth (for youth) ▲Forest of Understanding (for general public, office workers, housewives) ▲Forest of Emptiness (for seniors) ▲Forest of Wishes (for atopy) ▲Forest of Support (for the disabled) ▲Specialized programs (for people with disabilities, cancer patients, etc.) ▲Health walking, among others.

Even those who do not participate in specific programs can visit the Healing Forest Center at Manyeonsan Healing Forest to use health management devices such as body fat analyzers, stress meters, blood pressure monitors, and foot baths.

The operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday every week.

The Manyeonsan Forest Therapy Program operates by prior reservation and can be booked on the website ‘Hwasun’s Forest.’

A county official stated, “We will do our best to manage the Healing Forest, including developing specialized forest therapy programs so that visitors can relieve the fatigue accumulated due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.”
