Pohang Mayor Lee Gang-deok Visits Homigot 'Buckwheat Flower Field' Site... Creates 'Pure White' Spectacle

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] On the 4th, Mayor Lee Gang-deok of Pohang visited the 'Buckwheat Flower Complex' in Daebori, Homigot-myeon, Nam-gu, inspected the site, and encouraged the officials.

The 'Homigot Scenic Agriculture Complex' offers new attractions to tourists visiting Homigot by blooming canola flowers and colored barley from March to May every year, and buckwheat flowers from late May to July.

In addition to canola, colored barley, and buckwheat, various scenic crops such as sunflowers, cosmos, and red buckwheat are sown on a trial basis, allowing visitors to enjoy scenic crops from August to October. It is expected that the blue sea and pure white buckwheat flowers will provide healing to citizens exhausted by COVID-19.

This project is highly valued as it can achieve two goals: overcoming the rural crisis and creating new income by developing tourism content utilizing local scenery and tourism infrastructure, constructing a distribution center for scenic agricultural specialty products, and establishing a dedicated agricultural machinery rental center for scenic agriculture.

Mayor Lee Gang-deok said, "I am grateful to the officials who present diverse scenic crops throughout the four seasons to tourists visiting Homigot," and added, "We will strive to expand the variety of crops and cultivation areas in the scenic agriculture region so that it can become a premium tourist attraction in Pohang."

Meanwhile, Pohang City plans to hold a forum in July to promote scenic agriculture as a sustainable rural tourism industry base by utilizing 'scenic agriculture' as an asset of rural areas.
