[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam, decorated the old and faded Nonghyup warehouse around the Jigok-myeon rotary with murals promoting the 2021 Hamyang Sansam Anti-Aging Expo and Jigok-myeon.

The promotional murals feature the Expo's mascot, Sansam Grandpa holding a mountain ginseng, as well as representative agricultural and specialty products of Jigok-myeon such as strawberries, onions, and apples, promoting both the Expo and the township.

In addition, the murals depict the Sarangchae of the historic Ildu Jeong Yeo-chang House, a symbol of Gaepyeong Hanok Village, which has about 60 large and small hanok houses, providing sightseeing attractions for visitors to Hamyang and receiving favorable reviews from residents.

Lee Yong-hee, the head of the township, said, “We created the murals to decorate the old Nonghyup warehouse with bright murals to give a positive image to tourists visiting Jigok-myeon and the residents. We hope it can provide some vitality to bodies and minds tired from COVID-19.”
