"New Year's Sunrise at Home" ... Gyeongbuk Uljin-gun Fully Restricts Access to 9 Sunrise Viewing Spots

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk, is fully restricting access to nine major sunrise viewing spots in Uljin-gun, which are popular with tourists, to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Banners prohibiting entry have been posted at each sunrise viewing spot, and restricted access lines have been installed to prevent tourists from approaching.

The places where access is restricted are Uljin Port, Mangyangjeong Beach, Wolsongjeong area, Bukmyeon Doryuje, Bongpyeong Beach, Hujeong Beach, Osan Port Breakwater, Gusan Beach, and Hupo Deungisan Park, totaling nine locations. The restriction period is from 6 p.m. on December 31 to 9 a.m. on January 1 of the following year.

This restriction on sunrise viewing spots was implemented to prevent further spread due to ongoing local COVID-19 infections in the Uljin area. Uljin-gun plans to organize inspection teams by town and township to carry out quarantine measures and on-site inspections.

Jeon Chang-geol, the mayor of Uljin-gun, said, “Considering the safety of residents due to the region’s characteristics of having a large elderly population, we decided to restrict access to the sunrise viewing spots.”
