[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced on the 10th that it has been selected for the local garden creation project contest conducted by the Korea Forest Service.

The selected project is the "Amtaedo Rocky Local Garden Creation Project," which aims to specialize in island garden creation and serve as a hub for marine tourism in the southwestern region. The project will be promoted from next year with a total budget of 9 billion KRW.

The target site is "Amtaedo," where the opening of the land-sea bridge has increased external visitors. The attractive Amtaedo local garden, utilizing ecological nature such as rocks and reservoirs, is expected to act as a catalyst for opening the era of southwestern tourism and contribute to the spread of garden culture and tourism infrastructure.

The Amtaedo local garden will be the first garden created in an island area nationwide, serving as a flower garden platform on the sea of the 1004 Islands Sinan County, and is expected to establish itself as a landmark representing local gardens across the country.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, "Amtaedo is a place with many stones and rocks surrounding like a folding screen, where spring arrives early," and added, "We will carry out the project thoroughly so that people can fully immerse themselves in the hidden treasure-like beauty of Amtaedo in response to the post-COVID era."

Meanwhile, Sinan County is continuously applying for other projects such as healing forests, community gardens, and life-friendly garden creation projects, putting all efforts into creating flower gardens on the sea utilizing Sinan County's ecological environment and historical resources.
