Imsil-gun Accelerates Development of Seongsusan Forest Recreation and Complex Experience Complex

[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Nosik] Seongsusan, a representative famous mountain in Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, is accelerating the creation of a forest recreation and complex experience complex.

According to the county on the 15th, a mid-term briefing session was held on the 'Seongsusan Forest Leisure Facility Installation Project Basic Plan and Detailed Design Service' with County Governor Sim Min in attendance.

The mid-term briefing discussed various forest leisure facilities differentiated from other regions by actively utilizing forest resources in the Seongsusan Natural Recreation Forest area.

The newly launched forest leisure facility installation project (6 billion KRW) and forest camping site creation project (2 billion KRW), currently under design service this year, will begin full-scale construction from next year and are scheduled to be completed by 2023, the reopening time of the recreation forest.

Previously, in 2017, the county invested 5.7 billion KRW of county funds to purchase the old and neglected natural recreation forest, directly acquiring the privately owned natural recreation forest, demolishing the old facilities, and newly refurbishing them.

The county is currently pushing forward the finishing construction of the Seongsusan Natural Recreation Forest supplementation project, expected to be completed in the first half of next year.

Once the natural recreation forest and forest leisure facilities are completed, Seongsusan is expected to attract attention as a hub space for a forest recreation and complex experience complex where visitors can enjoy both forest recreation facilities and dynamic forest adventure experiences.

Seongsusan is famous for the founding myth that King Wang Geon of Goryeo and King Yi Seong-gye of Joseon prayed here and became kings.

Seongsusan Sangiam became nationally recognized as the filming location of the past KBS historical drama 'Jeong Do-jeon.'

Sangiam, known as the 'prayer site' of the two dynasties of Goryeo and Joseon, attracts many visitors every year and is famous as a sacred mountain.

The county is accelerating efforts to develop Seongsusan Natural Recreation Forest, famous for the founding myths of Goryeo and Joseon and its beautiful natural scenery, into a forest recreation and complex experience complex.

With the ongoing tourism development projects such as the King's Forest Ecotourism Site creation in the Seongsusan area and the Taejo Hope Forest creation, along with the forest recreation and experience facility installation projects being promoted simultaneously, it is expected to greatly contribute to the development of the previously stagnant eastern region.

County Governor Sim Min said, "Once various experience facilities utilizing Seongsusan's excellent forest resources are completed, many people nationwide will visit Seongsusan," adding, "We will strive harder to create a four-season tourism Imsil connecting Okjeongho, Imsil Cheese Theme Park, Osu Uigyeon Tourist Site, and Seongsusan."
