Hamyang Daebongsan Recreation Valley Emerges as a New Tourist Hot Place
Monorail and Zipline Weekend Sold Out, Signaling Box Office Hit
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Hamyang Daebongsan Leisure Valley, known for having the longest and highest monorail and zipline in Korea, has continued its success by selling out on weekends just five days after its full opening on February 16.
According to Hamyang County, about 2,000 people visited Daebong Skyland and Daebong Campingland over the weekend last week. As of February 20 this year, the total cumulative number of visitors reached 12,000.
This is a considerable number of visitors, considering Daebong Skyland (monorail and zipline), which recently reopened after the winter closure, in addition to Daebong Campingland, which has been operating continuously since January this year.
Hamyang County predicts a successful year comparable to last year, when the cumulative number of visitors reached 210,000.
A county official said, “Hamyang County, which includes Jirisan Cheonwangbong Peak within its administrative district, can be called the roof of Korea. Besides having the country's top-level monorail and zipline, it also boasts numerous scenic spots such as Namgye Seowon, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, and abundant healthy food, creating a synergistic effect.”
