Enhancing Public Health through Leisure and Healing Facilities Utilizing Pristine Natural Environment

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) held an on-site executive meeting on the morning of the 14th by climbing to the summit of Yonggyesan in Seomyeon to inspect the forest leisure sports complex and healing forest construction project sites.

The forest leisure sports complex construction project is a project to develop a mountain course utilizing the slope towards Pangyo in Seomyeon, Yonggyesan.

Since the Asian Cycling Confederation General Assembly selected Suncheon City as the host city for the '2022 Asian Mountain Bike Championships' last September, the leisure sports complex construction has gained further momentum.

On the Seomyeon Gusoang and Heungdae-ri side, the healing forest construction project is underway.

Making full use of Yonggyesan's dense cypress forest and clear, pristine valleys, a healing center will be established with the concept of a 'forest touching the sky, a forest where streams flow.'

With the goal of completion before the 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo, the project will be accelerated to be linked and utilized together with the expo.

Mayor Heo Seok, who presided over the meeting, stated, "The healing center should be an eco-friendly building that naturally harmonizes with the panoramic view of Yonggyesan," and ordered, "We will carefully review the overall building design, including perspective drawings, in consultation with Suncheon City's chief architect."

He also urged, "In line with the name 'healing center,' an operation plan should be established and infrastructure expanded so that it can be used by those who truly need rest, treatment, healing, and recuperation rather than tourists."

At the executive meeting, related departments such as the Transportation Division and Road Division also attended to discuss entrance road improvements and parking lot construction projects together, agreeing to cooperate to complete them before the 2023 Garden Expo.

Mayor Heo Seok of Suncheon said, "Once the forest leisure sports complex and healing forest are completed, Yonggyesan will not only become Suncheon's representative healing spot but also a hub for revitalizing the local economy through hosting national mountain bike competitions and the healing tourism industry, which will be spotlighted in the post-COVID-19 era."
