[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Gyeongbuk Province will hold the "This Year's Plant and Flower Specimen Exhibition" at the Gyeongbuk Arboretum in Pohang for two weeks from the 14th to the 27th.

To preserve and appreciate the plants that sprouted and bloomed at the arboretum this spring for a long time, specimens have been made and are being exhibited at the arboretum's forest interpretation exhibition hall.

The Gyeongbuk Arboretum faithfully fulfills its academic functions as an arboretum and holds an annual exhibition by creating plant specimens to provide visitors with attractions.

At this exhibition, over 130 specimens including rare endemic species such as Geumbutchot (Iris ensata), Seboksucho (Eranthis hyemalis) which blooms early in the spring snow, and Ulleungdo endemic plant Seombeotnamu (Prunus takesimensis) will be presented to visitors for the first time.

The 55-hectare exhibition garden within the arboretum features over 2,200 species of plants forming forests with various themes and unique characteristics, and the ecological trails extending over 20 km around it offer a cool mountain hike with lush greenery.

Additionally, forest interpreters and hiking guides who have completed specialized forestry education are assigned, providing various services.

Im Si-young, Director of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Forest Resources Development Institute, said, "I hope visitors can see the energy of spring at the Gyeongbuk Arboretum located at an altitude of 650 meters, and enjoy a beneficial and relaxing time cooling off in the cool breeze under the dense tree shade."
