Gwangju Buk-gu Accelerates Efforts to Beautify Yeongsangang Riverside

Gwangju Environmental Corporation Signs Agreement for 'Efficient Management'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Moon In) is undertaking the maintenance of the Yeongsan Riverbank to support local residents exhausted by COVID-19.

On the 10th, Buk-gu announced that it signed a business agreement with Gwangju Environmental Corporation (Chairman Kim Kang-yeol) for the "efficient management of the Yeongsan Riverbank."

This agreement was promoted to maintain and manage the Yeongsan Riverbank, a national river, more efficiently by strengthening expertise such as manpower and equipment.

The Yeongsan Riverbank is home to abundant natural resources such as silver grass, cosmos flowers, and wetlands. The Sandonggyo Waterside Park area, created in 2008, features sports and convenience facilities such as bicycle paths and soccer fields, making it a popular leisure spot for citizens.

The district plans to collaborate with Gwangju Environmental Corporation to remove invasive species and plant herbaceous plants, creating a more eco-friendly environment along the Yeongsan Riverbank.

In particular, by expanding the rapeseed flower fields, which were previously only established in the existing waterside park, to major riverbanks such as Daechon-dong Drone Park and Yeonje-dong Geojingi Rest Area, it aims to provide richer attractions for citizens visiting the Yeongsan Riverbank.

Buk-gu intends to transform the Yeongsan Riverbank into a representative outing spot of Buk-gu not only through rapeseed flower fields but also by planting various trees and plants annually.

Mayor Moon In of Buk-gu said, "We will continue to manage the ecosystem of the Yeongsan River, one of the national rivers, in cooperation with related organizations."
