Wanju County Council Member Seonamyong Seo, "Let's Create Wanju Historical and Cultural Pilgrimage Trail"

[Wanju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Wanju County Council member Seo Nam-yong proposed creating the Wanju Historical and Cultural Pilgrimage Trail to make it a premium tourist course in Wanju.

On the 15th, during a 5-minute speech at the 2nd plenary session of the 263rd extraordinary meeting, Councilor Seo stated, "Currently, Wanju has beautiful pilgrimage trails such as the Sunpil Trail and Gojongsi Masil Trail."

He continued, "Recently, at Chonam Iseongji in Namgye-ri, Iseo-myeon, the tombs and remains of Korea's first Catholic martyrs, Yun Ji-chung and Kwon San-yeon, were discovered, drawing attention. The Apsong-ro, which stretches about 60 km from Jinsan in Geumsan-myeon, Chungnam, through Ichi~Daedunsan~Gyeongcheon Singgeuraengi~Gosan~Bongdong~Bibong~Jeonju Andeokwon~Dongmun~Jeondong Cathedral, includes many of Wanju's natural and cultural heritage sites such as the Daedunsan Valley and Gyeongcheon Hwaamsa Temple," he added.

Councilor Seo said, "In an era where tourism directly connects to the local food industry, I propose the creation of the 'Wanju Historical and Cultural Pilgrimage Trail' encompassing Wanju County's historical and cultural heritage sites."

He requested, "The responsible departments should review the project's feasibility and budget scale through various methods such as research services, and hold public hearings and seminars to foster public opinion and atmosphere so that our proud historical and cultural heritage can be preserved and utilized."
