[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Changwon City, Gyeongnam, brightens the 'stagnation' of the local commercial district, which had been darkened by COVID-19, with colorful light illuminations.

The city announced on the 26th that after lighting the first 'Street of Light' this year on the 26th of last month at Buljong Street in Odong-dong, Masanhappo-gu, it completed the lighting ceremonies on the 18th of this month at the shopping street in Hapjeong-dong, Masanhoewon-gu, on the 23rd at the lawn plaza in front of the Gyeongnam Provincial Residents' House in Yongho-dong, Seongsan-gu, and on the 25th at the fountain plaza in Sangnam-dong, Seongsan-gu.

The city has been creating the Street of Light nightscape lighting project annually since it was first established in 2016 to create a lively street culture at night, receiving favorable reviews from surrounding merchants.

This year's Street of Light can be found at Buljong Street in Odong-dong, Masanhappo-gu; the shopping street in Hapjeong-dong, Masanhoewon-gu; the lawn plaza in front of the Gyeongnam Provincial Residents' House in Yongho-dong; Culture Street in Yongho-dong; the fountain plaza in Sangnam-dong, Seongsan-gu; and the Jungwon Plaza area in Jinhae-gu. The lights are turned on daily at sunset and turned off at midnight until April next year.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu said, "I hope the beautiful light illuminations coloring downtown Changwon will revitalize the local commercial district and bring bright smiles to the faces of all Changwon Special City citizens next year."
