[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 6th that the Christmas tree and landscape lighting installed at Namak Central Park in Samhyang-eup were simultaneously lit from 6 p.m. on the 3rd.

Namak Central Park has been installing a large tree for Christmas since last year, providing the excitement of the year-end and New Year holidays not only to nearby residents but also to visitors to Namak New Town.

This year, to comfort the residents who had a difficult year due to COVID-19, a warm pink 8-meter large tree and photo zones using Rudolph, sled, and snowman sculptures were created.

In addition, a total project cost of 350 million KRW (200 million KRW from the provincial government, 150 million KRW from the county) was invested in the Namak Central Park landscape lighting installation project, installing 476 lights and electrical infrastructure in Namak Central Park.

Starting from the central park music fountain to the location of the Oryong Fountain, cherry blossom lights, dandelion lights, flower lights, moon lights, cube lights, fire lights, and moon bench lights were installed throughout the park, transforming Namak Central Park into a bright and beautiful unique urban space.

Between the streetlights, 3.5-meter tall column lights were installed, creating a softly changing display of eight colors, brightly illuminating the previously dark pedestrian paths and creating a safe and beautiful walking trail.

Gobo lights displaying letters and images show phrases such as “Namak, a green city where you want to live” and “Hopeful Namak New Town sharing a happy life,” while six changing heart and flower images are displayed. Cameras showing dynamic scenes of fish swimming in the sea were also installed to encourage nighttime visitors to linger.

County Governor Kim San said, “I hope the sparkling lights in the park will bring hope and comfort to the hearts of residents exhausted by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic,” adding, “I look forward to Namak Central Park becoming a nighttime scenic landmark.”

Meanwhile, the tree and landscape lighting are lit daily from 5:30 p.m. to midnight, reflecting sunset and sunrise times, and the Christmas tree and photo zones will be on display until the end of January next year.
