[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] Gyeongju City, Gyeongbuk Province, is transforming the dark and dull alleys and underpasses of eup, myeon, and dong into beautifully designed streets.

The city announced on the 28th that it will improve four streets in eup, myeon, and dong, which had deteriorated facilities and harmed the urban landscape, into bright and pleasant living spaces by June.

The project sites include the entrance road to Donggang Seowon, the bus stop area at the entrance of Indong-ri, Gangdong-myeon, the alleys of Hwangridan-gil and next to the Hwangnam-dong Community Service Center, the underpass beneath the railway between Koaru Apartments and Dongbang Elementary School in Doji-dong, and the underground passage in Gujeong-dong, totaling four locations.

Accordingly, Gyeongju City plans to create design streets that reflect the region's identity through expert consultations and discussions with related departments.

Mayor Joo Nak-young said, "Through this urban landscape design project, we will decorate the four project sites as uniquely designed streets of Gyeongju to offer tourists beautiful scenery."
