[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Miryang City in Gyeongnam announced on the 11th that it has carried out a large-scale maintenance project focusing on major hiking trails in the area to make hiking more comfortable and safe as demand for hiking increases.

Since February, the city has spent a budget of 300 million KRW to renovate about 10 km of major hiking trails in the area, including Unmunsan, Iljabong, and Jongnamsan, by installing deck stairs, walking mats, and sleeper stairs.

Mayor Park Il-ho said, "For nature-friendly trail management, a systematic maintenance of damaged trails is necessary, along with the establishment of a mature hiking culture that uses designated trails and preserves the forest ecosystem."

Meanwhile, the city plans to create more beneficial and pleasant hiking trails by installing outdoor exercise equipment on the Iljabong trail, which is frequently visited by citizens in May, and by installing comprehensive guideboards and themed facility guideboards on the Jongnamsan trail.
