[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County is currently promoting the ‘4·4·8 Hampyeong Tourism Project’ (a tourism project involving 4 hours in the forest, 4 hours by the sea, and 8 hours staying at a Hampyeong accommodation), and is busy preparing to welcome tourists with abundant cultural events in the autumn season.

Hampyeong County, Jeollanam-do, announced on the 21st that it will hold the ‘Endangered Wildlife Cultural Exhibition’ every Saturday from the 23rd of this month to the 6th of next month at the Natural Ecology Park Lawn Square.

This event was organized to raise awareness about the conservation of endangered species and to share the economic value of biological resources, featuring award-winning works from the ‘12th Endangered Wildlife Drawing Contest’ on display.

In addition to the exhibition, various attractions are also prepared.

On the opening day, the 23rd, there will be acoustic guitar and saxophone performances to enjoy the autumn atmosphere, and on the 30th and the 6th of next month, traditional Korean music performances such as Hallyangmu, Jindo Drum Dance, and Salpuri will be held.

In particular, the outdoor performances will involve local artists, expected to revitalize the cultural and artistic fields that have been subdued due to COVID-19.

Also, the special exhibition ‘Hello, My Companion Plant,’ which was held at the National Sejong Arboretum until March this year, will be available at the Natural Ecology Park until November 7th.

This traveling exhibition features about 100 different species of companion plants and includes programs where visitors can learn basic knowledge about plant care.

County Governor Lee Sang-ik said, “At Hampyeong Natural Ecology Park, a variety of flowers such as chrysanthemums, buckwheat flowers, and green barley will be in full bloom until early November, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the autumn atmosphere,” and added, “I hope people take a break from the city and create unique memories here in Hampyeong with beautiful flora and fauna.”
