[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Nosik] In Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, a representative tourist destination, the Imsil Cheese Theme Park area is attracting attention as a ‘healing park’ with over ten million chrysanthemum flowers and gujeolcho blooming in full.

The county announced on the 8th that it exhibited chrysanthemum flowers at the Imsil Cheese Theme Park to replace the offline Imsil N Cheese Festival, which could not be held due to COVID-19, and created a gujeolcho hill around the observatory area.

Starting near the Wind Hill located at the Cheese Theme Park observatory, a total of 400,000 gujeolcho plants have been planted, offering a beautiful landscape along with the chrysanthemum flowers.

Since 2019 until this year, the county has invested about 700 million won to create the gujeolcho hill on approximately 15,000㎡ of land.

As a result, the entire mountain behind the Cheese Theme Park is richly covered with gujeolcho, providing a sensory-satisfying healing landscape filled with a subtle floral scent.

Along with the colorful ten million chrysanthemum flowers, the pure white gujeolcho presents a magnificent autumn scene full of seasonal charm, allowing visitors to enjoy the representative flowers of autumn all at once.

Not only chrysanthemums and gujeolcho flowers but also evergreen pine trees, azaleas, and hydrangeas are beautifully planted, creating a spectacular scene where flowers and trees coexist.

Additionally, walking paths, observatories, benches, and more have been installed among the pine trees within the Cheese Theme Park, providing visitors with a comfortable green resting place that feels like walking along a forest trail even on regular days.

Although the county cannot hold the Imsil N Cheese Festival again this year due to COVID-19, it is alleviating regrets by continuing its reputation through minimal online programs.

The colorful chrysanthemums cultivated together by the county’s Agricultural Technology Center and local farms create a fairy-tale-like scene at the Imsil Cheese Theme Park, offering joyful autumn memories to families and couples visiting the park.

At the Cheese Theme Park, there are wonderful photo zones such as chrysanthemums shaped like Father Ji Jeonghwan, the father of Imsil cheese, and a mountain goat, as well as over 200 chrysanthemum sculptures of angel wings, hearts, and crescent moons displayed throughout the park.

In particular, the county has installed quarantine booths at the five entrances of the theme park and is thoroughly implementing COVID-19 prevention measures such as temperature checks and visitor log entries to ensure visitors can safely enjoy the park.

County Governor Shim Min said, “We have carefully grown and exhibited the chrysanthemum sculptures of Father Ji Jeonghwan, the father of Imsil cheese, and crescent moon shapes for the seventh year this year since early spring,” adding, “As many people nationwide are expected to visit, we will do our best to manage quarantine.”
