[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] In these days when prevention and quarantine of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) have become routine, the word 'untact,' which combines 'un' meaning opposite and 'contact' meaning contact, is a hot topic. As interest grows in finding hidden spots and solo walking courses where social distancing can be practiced, more people are seeking out secluded travel destinations.


If you want to reduce contact with others while satisfying your travel desires, 'Jinyangho Park' is just the place.


This spring, Jinju City planted 630 hydrangea plants of 5 varieties in the family rest area at the entrance of Jinyangho Park, which have recently begun to bloom in pink, blue, and purple colors.


Walking along the hydrangea trail, you will find a bamboo forest path unfolding alongside Jinyangho Lake. Since last year, thinning of bamboo and maintenance of the walking path have been carried out, improving the lake view.


Additionally, the city removed hazardous trees within Jinyangho Park and creatively reused some of them to create wooden bench photo zones facing Jinyangho Lake, perfect for resting and taking pictures, attracting attention.


The Jinyangho Yangjasan Mulbit Trail, completed last year, is a 15.3 km circular exploration route connecting the Jinyangho Park observatory, Sangnakwon, and Gahwa-ri in Myeongseok-myeon. It has become one of Jinyangho's hidden hot spots where visitors can enjoy the tranquil lake and forest bathing.



A city official stated, "Although the situation is difficult due to COVID-19, we hope citizens will enjoy the beautiful lake scenery and hydrangea viewing at Jinyangho Park, as well as discover hidden hot spots throughout the area."
