[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cha Jongseon] Jeonnam Gokseong-gun (Governor Yu Geungi) announced on the 1st that the Gokseong Melon Complex Experience Center was newly opened on the 29th.

At Melong Salon, visitors can enjoy the signature Gokseong Melon drinks while experiencing various melon-related activities.

An old and worn melon storage warehouse was remodeled and reborn as a themed cafe.

Surrounding the cafe is Melon Village, where melons are directly cultivated, making it an ideal rural cafe with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere to fully enjoy relaxation and healing.

Above all, since the cafe is located at the melon production site, it has the advantage of offering fresh melons and strawberries harvested the same day in drinks and desserts.

At the experience center, visitors can enjoy various activities such as making melon bingsu, melon chocolate, and melon glutinous rice cakes.

Additionally, visitors can have a fun time learning about melons through activities like selecting delicious melons and tasting different melon varieties.

Gokseong-gun expects Melong Salon to become a landmark that can develop Gokseong Melon into a tourism product.

To this end, starting with the opening of Melong Salon, they plan to develop more diverse linked programs to enhance the brand image and recognition of Gokseong Melon.

A county official stated, “We will strive to ensure that Melong Salon leads to a real increase in income for Gokseong Melon producers.”
