Selected as Namdo Food Street, Adjacent to Tourist Attractions like Changpyeong Market's Historicity and Tradition, Changpyeong Slow City

10 Billion Won Support for 2 Years Starting This Year, Installation of Street Symbols, Signboard Maintenance,

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 22nd that Damyang’s ‘Changpyeong Gukbap Street’ was selected as the final target site in the 2021 Namdo Food Street Contest Project, a premium food culture street creation project promoted by Jeollanam-do.

With this selection, Damyang-gun will receive 1 billion KRW in support over two years starting this year to promote improvements in the surrounding environment such as installing street symbols, renovating restaurant signs, securing pedestrian paths and parking lots, and expanding convenience facilities for tourists.

‘Changpyeong Gukbap Street’ has continued its history since the opening of the Changpyeong traditional market in 1919. The market had a cattle market and a slaughterhouse, and naturally, restaurants selling gukbap began to appear.

Although the slaughterhouse and cattle market can no longer be seen, the restaurants selling gukbap have continued along with the traditional market to become today’s ‘Changpyeong Gukbap Street,’ a representative tourist destination of Changpyeong-myeon along with the Slow City.

A county official said, “We expect Changpyeong Gukbap Street to stand tall as Damyang’s premium food tourism site connecting Damyang Noodle Street and Tteokgalbi & Bamboo Rice Street, playing a pioneering role in opening the ‘Damyang Ten Million Tourism Era.’ We will do our best to ensure that Changpyeong Gukbap, which has regional tradition and symbolism, leads in promoting Damyang’s diverse tastes and culture.”

Damyang Changpyeong Gukbap is characterized by ‘Ampong Sundae’ and ‘Ampong Sundae Gukbap’ made with straw ropes, and on Changpyeong Gukbap Street, various gukbap dishes are sold including Ampong Sundae, Ampong Sundae Gukbap, all kinds of gukbap, head gukbap, and intestine gukbap.
