Enjoy the New Year's Sunrise at National Park Attractions Remotely!

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Baegam Office of Naejangsan National Park under the Korea National Park Service (Director Yoo Kyungho) announced on the 29th that it will completely ban New Year's events within the national park to prevent the spread of the rapidly increasing COVID-19 and to protect visitors from infection.

The Baegam Office of Naejangsan National Park expects a large number of visitors to gather at the summit at once to watch the New Year's sunrise, so it plans to open the trails and parking lots after 7 a.m. to encourage the dispersal of visitors celebrating the New Year.

Accordingly, from January 1 to January 2, visitors will not be allowed to enter the national park before 7 a.m., and the parking lots will only be available for use after 7 a.m.

Baek Chungyeol, Head of Visitor Facilities, urged, "As the COVID-19 situation is severe nationwide, please adhere to quarantine guidelines when visiting the national park."

Meanwhile, the Korea National Park Service plans to provide real-time footage through National Park TV (YouTube) so that people can enjoy the New Year's sunrise remotely.
