[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Miryang City in Gyeongnam announced on the 22nd that it conducted a city tour for residents of a retired community village to help them understand Miryang and encourage return-to-farming and return-to-village migration.

On that day, participants visited Yeongnamru, Miryang Arirang Exhibition Hall, and Miryang Municipal Museum, where they could explore Miryang's history and culture in one place. They also had time to listen to experiences at a rural education farm, including how senior return-to-farming farmers select crops, basic planning for return-to-farming startups, success know-how, and difficulties encountered during settlement.

One resident who participated in the city tour said, "Through today's city tour, I came to know Miryang's beautiful cultural assets and deep history, which gave me a deeper attachment and interest," adding, "During the remaining period, I will spend time traveling around Miryang to learn more."

Lee Jong-hwang, Director of the Agricultural Policy Division, said, "We will continue to pay attention and play a mentoring role through customized consulting so that retirees preparing for their second act in life can settle in return-to-farming and return-to-village migration without difficulties."

Meanwhile, considering the COVID-19 situation this year, Miryang City is conducting several small-scale city tours for prospective return-to-farming and return-to-village migrants in multiple sessions.
