Resumption of Seocho-gu History and Culture Walking Tour Program with 2,333 Participants Since 2015... Visit to Maehun Yun Bong-gil Memorial Hall with Cultural Guide & Enjoyable Forest Experience for All Ages at Yangjae Citizen's Forest

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seocho-gu will operate the ‘2021 Seoripul Cultural Exploration’ program, which allows participants to experience the district’s history and nature, every Wednesday for four weeks starting from the 24th at the ‘Maeheon Yun Bong-gil Memorial Hall’ and ‘Yangjae Citizen’s Forest’.

‘2021 Seoripul Cultural Exploration’ is the new name for the ‘Seocho Cultural Exploration,’ a walking tour program of Seocho-gu’s history and culture that has been held annually since 2015 with various courses. So far, it has been held 105 times with a total of 2,733 participants. Although the program was suspended last year due to COVID-19, it has resumed recently following the government’s phased recovery measures.

The exploration begins with a visit to the Maeheon Yun Bong-gil Memorial Hall, where participants view the exhibits accompanied by explanations from a cultural interpreter affiliated with the Seocho Cultural Center. Afterwards, participants move to Yangjae Citizen’s Forest, where they explore various parts of the forest with a forest guide and experience the wonder and intimacy of nature through various games.

The exploration will be held four times in total on the 24th, December 1st, 8th, and 15th, with 10 participants accepted on a first-come, first-served basis for each session. Anyone interested can participate free of charge, and applications can be made through the Seocho-gu Office website starting from the 15th.

The district expects this exploration to revitalize the bodies and minds of participants who have been constrained due to COVID-19 and provide an opportunity to quench their thirst for cultural experiences.

Kwon Mi-jung, Director of the Culture and Tourism Division, said, “Through this cultural exploration, I hope families, friends, and neighbors will enjoy a joyful and fulfilling experience by experiencing both history and nature.”
