[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jeonnam Haenam-gun (Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan) announced on the 13th that it will hold an emotional walking event to enjoy starlight and moonlight while escaping the midsummer heat on Dalma Trail.

This program will be held three times from the 24th of this month to the 21st of next month under the title "Summer Days, Dawn & Moonlight Dalma Trail Walking."

The program is designed to avoid the hot daytime heat in summer and enjoy starlight and moonlight on Dalma Trail, with one moonlight walk and two dawn walks scheduled.

All walks start from Mihwangsa Temple and are arranged as light courses that can be completed in about three hours. The dawn walks start before sunrise, allowing participants to slowly walk and enjoy the magnificent Dadohae sunrise.

The moonlight walk, held on the full moon day (15th day of the lunar calendar), allows participants to enjoy the sunset scenery as it gets dark during the walk, and by the end of the trekking, they can expect to see the brightly rising full moon. It is expected to offer another charm of Dalma Trail.

This walking event is limited to the first 30 people per session, and a trekking guide will accompany the group to ensure a safe walking trip.

To participate in the event, one can apply in advance for the desired date through the KakaoTalk channel (365 Days Dalma Trail Walking Day) or by phone (Haenam-gun Tourism Office Festival Team). Anyone nationwide can participate, and the participation fee is free.

Additionally, this walking event will be conducted as "Jupging" (picking up trash + jogging) while walking, and participants will receive recognition for their volunteer activity records.

For more details, please check the Haenam-gun Culture and Tourism website or the KakaoTalk channel (365 Days Dalma Trail Walking Day) news section.

Haenam-gun operates various walking programs throughout the year under the purpose of the "365 Days Dalma Trail Walking Day" program to revitalize Dalma Trail.

In March, a non-face-to-face walking event titled "Haenam Mountain and Forest Trail Story" was held, and in May and June, a "Dalma Trail Walking Event for Solo Hikers" was held, attracting attention with about 1,000 participants nationwide.

Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan said, "We prepared this event with the hope that people exhausted by COVID-19 and the heat will rest and heal on Dalma Trail and have a memorable trip during the summer vacation season," adding, "Above all, we will do our best to ensure a safe walking trip through quarantine and safety management."
