[Photo] Visitors Continue to Walk Along Damyang Metasequoia Road Embracing the Spring Breeze

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Chunsu] Spring has arrived at Damyang Metasequoia Road, considered the most beautiful road in the country.

On the 13th, spring visitors who came to Damyang, Jeonnam, are leisurely enjoying the spring atmosphere on the lush Metasequoia Road.

The Metasequoia tree-lined road was originally National Route 24, but as a new national route was constructed right next to it, this road was developed for walking.

The total length of the tree-lined road is about 8.5 km, with Metasequoia trees 10 to 20 meters tall planted along both sides of the road.

The road was created in the early 1970s when Damyang-gun planted 3- to 4-year-old Metasequoia saplings during a nationwide tree-planting project, which has now grown into a dense tree tunnel road.

Damyang Metasequoia Road has received the ‘2002 Beautiful Street Forest’ award organized by the Korea Forest Service and the ‘Life Forest Cultivation Movement Headquarters,’ and in 2006, it won the grand prize in the ‘Top 100 Beautiful Roads in Korea’ selected by the Ministry of Construction and Transportation.
