[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Tongyeong City in Gyeongnam announced on the 9th that its representative local tourist attraction, 'DIPIRANG,' surpassed 100,000 cumulative visitors on the 8th, after 236 days of operation.

DIPIRANG is the longest nighttime digital theme park in Korea, located in Nam Mangsan Park, featuring 15 themed walking trails utilizing light and artificial illumination.

The Tongyeong Tourism Development Corporation held a customer appreciation event to commemorate the 100,000th visitor, presenting souvenirs including a stay voucher at Stanford Hotel, 10 tickets for the Tongyeong Cable Car, and DIPIRANG's representative character, Pirang, plush doll and a bouquet of flowers.

The 100,000th visitor, Mr. Kim, said, "I visited with my daughter following recommendations from people around me that you must visit 'DIPIRANG' when you go to Tongyeong. I never expected such luck," and added, "I will proudly recommend this place to others as a must-visit spot."

Mayor Kang Seok-ju stated, "We will devote ourselves to making Tongyeong a city that visitors want to return to and a tourist city where people want to stay."

Meanwhile, DIPIRANG was selected last year for the Small and Medium Potential Tourist Destination Development Project hosted by the Korea Tourism Organization and was also designated as a Safe Tourist Destination by the Gyeongnam branch of the Korea Tourism Organization, gaining recognition as a representative nighttime tourist attraction in Korea.
