[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong Donguibogam Village, the scheduled venue for the 2023 ‘Sancheong World Traditional Medicine Anti-Aging Expo,’ is transforming into a new look.

On the 14th, Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, announced the opening of Mureunggyo Bridge, a new landmark symbolizing Donguibogam Village.

Mureunggyo is a suspension bridge over the Mureung Valley, flowing southeast of Donguibogam Village, where visitors can enjoy the scenery of Wangsang, Pilbong, and Donguibogam Village while walking.

In the distance, the scenic views of Sancheong, including the county park Ungseokbong and Hwangmaesan Mountain, famous for its azaleas and silver grass, come into full view.

Mureunggyo is expected to become a representative attraction point of Donguibogam Village, linked with the Donguibogam Village cable car currently under installation.

Additionally, near the herbal natural recreation forest located at the upper part of Donguibogam Village, a healing forest spanning over 50 hectares is being created, with plans to operate programs focused on healing and relaxation.

Lee Jae-geun, the mayor of Sancheong-gun, said, “Through the experience of COVID-19, humanity worldwide has realized how important the values of healing, rest, and a healthy life are. Sancheong Donguibogam Village, the Herbal Medicine Festival, and the Herbal Expo will become essential ways of life, not just travel products or tourist destinations, in the post-COVID era. We will do our best to ensure our county stands at the center of the anti-aging wellness lifestyle.”
