[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Four locations in Gyeonggi-do?Bamridan-gil and Bonnet-gil in Goyang, Dongpyeon Village Cafe Street in Anyang, Doldari Cultural Village in Paju, and Gwanin Cultural Village Sunflower Road in Pocheon?will be developed as lifestyle tourism destinations.

These areas were selected through the '2022 Gyeonggi-do Hidden Tourism Theme Alley' contest. Gyeonggi-do plans to develop and operate tourism content linked to the alleys' history, culture, experiences, popular restaurants, ecology, leisure, and industrial tourism with a project budget of 80 million KRW per alley.

Among them, Bamridan-gil means Gyeongridan-gil of Bamgasi Village, which had many chestnut trees, and features Ilsan Bamgasi Choga and the Kim Dae-jung Presidential Residence Memorial Hall. Bonnet-gil was named because visitors to the flea market formed by antique shops wear bonnet hats.

Goyang City plans to operate cultural tour programs where travelers can enjoy various experiences and lectures for half a day on these streets.

Anyang City is promoting color design for public facilities and discovering signature menus in Dongpyeon Village Cafe Street, while Pocheon City is planning a sunflower photo zone and walking tours that tell the village stories.

Paju City is developing traditional lantern making, mural village alley tours, and shared garden experiences, which will be directly operated by village residents.

Additionally, the province and Gyeonggi Tourism Organization will conduct tourism marketing education, food menu consulting, alley tourism product sales, traveler visit certification events, and alley promotional tours.

In 2020?2021, the province also selected 14 sites, including Suwon Hwaseong Haengnidan-gil, as project targets and supported tourism product development.
