[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] On the 29th, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) held a proclamation ceremony for the "Island of Red Plum Blossoms" at the Jo Hee-ryong Art Museum on Imjado Island, taking the first step toward transforming the entire island into a garden where flowers and trees harmonize.

According to Sinan-gun, as part of the 1 Eup-Myeon 1 Theme Garden Project to create the 1004 Islands that bloom flowers all year round, they plan to cultivate Imjado Island, planting the island’s flower, the tulip, along with the specialized tree, the red plum blossom, to create a lush forest and abundant blossoms.

On this day, the Imja-myeon Red Plum Blossom Island Promotion Committee (Chairman Gu Dong-yeol) formed a consensus to make Imjado Island a fragrant island through the proclamation of the Red Plum Blossom Island and pledged to take the lead in creating the 1004 Islands that bloom flowers throughout the four seasons.

On Imjado Island, a total of 13,500 red plum blossom trees are planned to be planted. This year, 6,500 trees will be planted to create a 3 km premium walking trail, and in addition to red plum blossoms, camellia and arborvitae trees will be planted together to provide seasonal variety and visual appeal.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “With the opening of the Imja Bridge, the red plum blossom garden will become a garden where fragrance and color can be enjoyed simultaneously, following the tulips, and will newly promote Imjado Island.”
