[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) held a completion ceremony for the ‘Jaeun Dunjang Color Maintenance Project’ on the 14th to create a distinctive village utilizing the region's specialized resources.

According to the county on the 16th, Dunjang Village, where the sorrowful legend of Halmi Rock has been passed down, attracts numerous tourists due to its dazzling sandy beach and the Infinite Bridge, an outstanding natural landscape. However, the village’s infrastructure is aging due to strong sea winds, and the living conditions are poor.

Since January, Sinan-gun has been promoting a 2 billion KRW specialized development project to develop Dunjang Village’s beautiful scenery and natural landscape into a unique tourist resource, increase local residents' income, and provide cultural and welfare services.

First, the roofs of 60 old houses were painted ‘Cobalt Blue,’ and the walls and fences were painted clean ‘white,’ allowing visitors to feel the purity of the blue sea of the Dadohae (Sea of Many Islands) and providing a clean image of Angel Island Sinan, transforming the village into a vibrant new community.

Additionally, to provide visitors with a comfortable and pleasant healing space, 504 trees of species resistant to sea wind, such as baby camellia, Chinese tallow tree, cornelian cherry, and holly, were planted along an 870m section from the village entrance to the beach, creating a harmonious environment and a flower-filled walking path throughout the four seasons.

Currently, efforts are underway to expand the basic living infrastructure for local residents, including village road maintenance, remodeling of communal facilities, replacement of old streetlights, creation of small parks, and stone wall repairs.

Governor Park Woo-ryang stated, “We plan to improve living conditions by creating a pleasant environment for local residents and transform the area into a new landmark of Sinan-gun by developing beautiful gardens and tourism content to offer visitors various attractions.”
