Imsil-gun Accelerates Okjeongho Bungeo Island Four-Season Garden Development Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk is accelerating the creation of a four-season rose garden at Bungeo Island, a representative tourist destination in Okjeongho.

According to the county on the 9th, this project is creating a visitor information center and various theme parks to open Bungeo Island, the key point of the Okjeongho landscape, next year.

Last year, the county created eight types of theme parks including a visitor information center, lawn yard, forest library, wind bathing area, Sky View Rest Area, hillside flower garden, gallery garden, and waterside walking trail on 73,000㎡ of Bungeo Island, planting four-season trees such as Korean chrysanthemum, azalea, and hydrangea.

Throughout Bungeo Island, there are resting pavilions and benches, flower beds, and walking paths along the waterside where visitors can observe more than 50 species of seasonal trees.

This year, an additional 2 billion KRW will be invested from the Jeonbuk Eastern Region Development Project Fund to reinforce restrooms and convenience facilities, create various photo zones, and distinctive gardens, aiming to complete the landscaping of Bungeo Island.

The county plans to develop diverse programs such as concerts and events, as well as unique experiences, to establish Bungeo Island as a four-season tourist destination rather than a one-time tourist spot once it opens.

County Governor Shim Min said, “Ahead of the opening of Bungeo Island next year, we will create a place for experience and healing for tourists by building various infrastructure where they can heal in nature,” adding, “We will open an era of tourism in Imsil that attracts many people nationwide.”
