'New Discovery' Mokpo City Beach Matgil 30-ri Section 2 Opening

Namhang~Samhakdo 2.1km Section Decorated with Colorful Flowers

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] On the 10th, Mokpo City in Jeollanam-do announced the opening of the 2.1km Namhang section, the 2nd section of the 30-ri coastal trail used as a beach walking tour course.

The Coastal Trail Project is a project to create a walking travel path divided into five sections along a total of 11.7 km, starting from Hadang Peace Square, passing Gatbawi Rock, Namhang, and Samhakdo, and continuing to Mokpo Maritime University. The newly opened 2nd section is an environmental ecological trail from Namhang to Samhakdo.

The environmental ecological trail features a 350m pine forest path, a 1km reed forest path, wetlands, and mudflats where visitors can encounter fish such as mudskippers and plants, as well as rare birds like herons and yellow-billed egrets. It can be accessed via the entrance in front of the Samhakdo Bonghwang Funeral Hall or the back gate of the Namhae Water Quality Management Office.

To provide attractions for citizens and tourists exhausted by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the city has decorated about 6,000 pyeong of the 9,000 pyeong of idle land in Namhang with poppies and baby's breath, and 3,000 pyeong with 25 species of wildflowers, as well as creating a rose flower path.

The city’s vision for the Coastal Trail Project is to create a walking tour path that is not just for walking but integrates Mokpo’s charm such as ‘modern history + culture + art’ and connects with the city’s pride, its restaurants, making Mokpo a ‘city people want to visit again and stay longer.’

The city plans to continuously promote projects for the remaining sections to create synergy with the tourism hub city project.
