[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is holding a promotional exhibition titled "Gyeonggi Provincial Government Building Memories Photo Exhibition and More" from the 11th to the 18th of this month at the first-floor entrance and lawn plaza of the old Gyeonggi Provincial Government building. This event comes ahead of the relocation to the new Gwanggyo building in Yeongtong, Suwon, scheduled for the 30th of next month, allowing visitors to explore the history of the existing Gyeonggi Provincial Government building (located on Paldal Mountain) through various photographic materials and documentaries.

Under the theme "Memories of the Gyeonggi Provincial Government Building and the New Future Gwanggyo Building Exhibition," the promotional event features 40 special photographs showcasing the transformation of the Gyeonggi Provincial Government building in ten-year intervals from 1967 to the present.

Notably, the exhibition includes many previously unreleased photos held privately by the provincial government, such as the 1991 Gyeonggi Province decision ceremony for the National Sports Festival and the 1997 Cherry Blossom Festival welcoming residents at the provincial government building. The province will also broadcast the documentary video "Adieu Paldal Mountain" on promotional monitors.

Additionally, to allow anyone to reminisce about the Paldal Mountain Gyeonggi Provincial Government building, a photo zone experience event set against the backdrop of the 1960s provincial government building will be operated.

Choi Min-sik, head of the provincial media administration division, stated, "Ahead of the relocation to the new building, we have prepared this photo and video exhibition to remember the Paldal Mountain Gyeonggi Provincial Government building, which has been maintained for 55 years since 1967. We hope that not only Gyeonggi residents who cherish memories of the Paldal government building but also anyone who loves Gyeonggi Province will visit during the event period and create many memories."

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi Province moved its provincial government office from the Gwanghwamun Gyeonggi Provincial Government building in Seoul to the foothills of Paldal Mountain on Hyowon-ro, Paldal-gu, Suwon City in 1967, and is now preparing to relocate to the new Gwanggyo building in Suwon on the 30th of next month.

The Gwanggyo new building convergence town, which houses the Gyeonggi Provincial Government new building and the Gyeonggi Provincial Council new building together, spans a total floor area of 166,337 square meters with four basement levels and 25 floors above ground, with a project cost of 478 billion KRW.
