Gong Byeong-cheol, Gwangsan District Councilor in Gwangju, "Eodeungsan Dullegil Should Be Created and Provided to Citizens"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gong Byeongcheol, a member of the Gwangsan District Council in Gwangju Metropolitan City (Democratic Party, Sinheung-dong, Usan-dong, Wolgok 1·2-dong, Unnam-dong), stated on the 23rd that a trail around Eodeungsan Mountain should be created to provide a healing space for citizens.

On the same day, during the 1st plenary session of the 269th regular meeting, Councilor Gong argued in a 5-minute free speech that “Eodeungsan Mountain has not been able to fully utilize its value and environment due to decades of delays in development projects.”

He proposed, “Please create a trail around Eodeungsan, where the Honam Righteous Army Memorial Hall will be built, incorporating history, culture, and nature to enhance citizens’ health and quality of life and to serve as a place for historical experiential education that fosters patriotism.”

He continued, “If a themed trail is created with photo zones, sports facilities, restrooms, resting areas, and convenience facilities, as well as a barrier-free trail accessible to everyone including the mobility-impaired, it will become a tourist attraction visited by many people.”

Furthermore, he added, “If linked with Gwangsan District’s walking policy, the synergy effect will be maximized, and walking club members will be less likely to seek new courses by traveling to other regions. I ask for efforts to enact ordinances to create and manage the trail and to secure budgets so that the project can proceed swiftly.”
