[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do has secured 5 billion KRW for the Healing Forest Creation Project, a core project in the forest ecological tourism sector of Jeollanam-do.

According to the county on the 7th, the selected project is the "Bigeumdo Healing Forest Creation Project," which aims to expand forest healing infrastructure with regional characteristics and promote the health of the public by utilizing various elements of nature.

The target site is Bigeumdo, where the opening of the Cheonsa Bridge and Chupo Bridge has made sea travel more convenient, increasing the number of external visitors. By creating an attractive Bigeumdo Healing Forest utilizing ecological nature such as cypress and solar salt, it is expected to contribute to the expansion of forest ecological leisure culture and tourism infrastructure.

The Bigeumdo Healing Forest will be developed as a healing space where visitors can take walks along the cypress forest trail and the Hae-danghwa Hill trail, enjoying both the blue sea and the green forest.

Additionally, a unique experience program using solar salt, which represents Sinan, will be operated to promote and heal the health of people exhausted by COVID-19 and artificial environments, leading the future forest service industry.

County Governor Park Woo-ryang stated, "We will create a healing forest on Bigeumdo Island, away from the mainland, utilizing pine and cypress forests and Cheotguji Beach, making it a place where anyone can heal their tired mind and body and recharge their vitality."

Meanwhile, Sinan-gun is focusing all efforts on creating a flower garden on the sea, utilizing the ecological environment and historical resources of Sinan-gun, a pristine natural area.
