A Symbol of Korea-China Harmony and Northeast Asia Peace... Progressing Smoothly with 62% Completion Rate

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Yeosu City in Jeollanam-do announced that the construction project of the "Joseon-Ming Allied Naval Forces Theme Historical Park," which began in September 2020, is progressing smoothly with a completion rate of 62%, and it is expected to be completed by September.

The Joseon-Ming Allied Naval Forces Theme Historical Park is a project being developed on a 23,534㎡ site in the Doduk Village area of Myodo-dong, the former garrison site during the Imjin War, to honor the loyalty of the Joseon-Ming allied naval forces. The total project cost is 10.8 billion KRW (including 3 billion KRW in national funds).

The park will feature the Joseon Harmony Square, where outdoor performances and festivals can be held; the Joseon-Ming Experience Square, where visitors can try on military uniforms and weapons from the Joseon and Ming dynasties; and the Joseon-Ming Memorial Garden, which will include symbolic sculptures of the allied naval forces.

The Joseon-Ming Memorial Garden will house sculptures of heroes from the Imjin War, including Admiral Yi Sun-sin of Joseon, General Song Hee-rip, Ming Dynasty Commander Jin Lin, and General Deng Zilong, adding historical significance to the site.

Additionally, the park will include the Joseon Victory Path, a decked walking trail, children's playground facilities, and public restrooms to provide convenience for tourists.

Yeosu City plans to develop the Joseon-Ming Allied Naval Forces Theme Historical Park as a unique tourist resource that highlights Yeosu's history and beautiful scenery by linking it with the Yi Sun-sin Bridge and promotional center in Myodo-dong, as well as the Bonghwa Mountain Observatory Park.

It is expected to become a new themed travel destination not only for domestic tourists but also for Chinese tourists who come to pay tribute to Ming Commander Jin Lin and General Deng Zilong.

Meanwhile, on the 2nd, Mayor Kwon Oh-bong visited the construction site to inspect the progress and safety conditions.

Mayor Kwon said, "I hope the construction proceeds meticulously with the thought that this place will become a new symbol of Korea-China harmony and peace in Northeast Asia. Above all, please pay attention to safety and conduct daily tests using self-diagnosis kits under the supervision of managers to prevent COVID-19."
