[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byung-nae) announced on the 23rd that it will invest about 40 million KRW to install deck-type rest areas and benches along the Green Nam-gu Belt Road developed in Daechon-dong and Hyochon District.


The Green Nam-gu Belt Road is a walking trail created with a budget of 1 billion KRW since 2016 to develop an eco-friendly ecological exploration path utilizing the natural ecological environment along the stream within the development restriction zone, and was completed in early 2018.


The walking trail consists of two courses along the banks of Daechoncheon and Suchuncheon streams.


The Daechoncheon course extends 2.5 km from in front of Pochungsa Temple to near Imaam Bridge in Hyochon 1 District, and the Suchuncheon course connects a 2 km section from in front of Pochungsa Temple to Bitgoeul Craft Creation Village.


At the time of development, Nam-gu planted various trees and flowers along the watercourses of Daechoncheon and Suchuncheon, and installed deck observatories and benches for residents visiting the trail to rest. This time, additional convenience facilities will be reinforced in Hyochon 1 District based on residents’ project proposals.


The reinforcement construction of convenience facilities along the Green Nam-gu Belt Road is expected to take place early next month.


Deck-type benches with shade functions will be installed in two sections of the trail so that multiple people can comfortably sit and rest in the shade or avoid the strong sunlight.



A Nam-gu official said, “The Green Nam-gu Belt Road is a trekking course frequently used by residents around Hyochon 1 District, where they can enjoy the various sceneries around Daechoncheon and Suchuncheon that change with the seasons. We will continue to develop it as an eco-friendly walking trail that connects people and their hearts.”
