Sinan-gun Opens 'Island Hydrangea Festival' at Sea Hydrangea Garden

Come Take a Boat to Dochodo Island, the Island of Hydrangeas, for Flower Viewing

[Sinan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, will hold the "Island Hydrangea Festival" for 10 days from the 24th of this month to the 3rd of next month at the Hydrangea Garden on the sea of Dochodo Island.

Under the theme "Meeting Hydrangeas on the 10-ri Pangnamu Road," this festival will take place around Dochodo Island, centered on the Hydrangea Park and the Garden of Fantasy, featuring cultural and exhibition events, stamp tours, hashtag events, and more.

In particular, the 10-ri Pangnamu Road, which won the Grand Prize in the 2020 Jeonnam Urban Forest Evaluation and the Excellence Award in the Street Tree category from the Korea Forest Service in 2021, is a spectacular sight with 716 magnificent Pangnamu trees stretching endlessly. It is the best healing walking trail where visitors can gain flower energy while walking along the forest path with fresh breezes.

Despite inconvenient transportation conditions typical of island areas, over 15,000 people have already visited the Hydrangea Park from the 1st to the 20th, and the number of visitors is expected to be higher than ever during the festival period.

To get to Dochodo Island, visitors must use a ferry. It takes 40 minutes by car ferry from Amtae Namgang Pier to Bigeum Gasan Pier, and 1 hour by high-speed ferry from Mokpo Passenger Terminal to Dochodo Hwado.

A Sinan-gun official stated, "Dochodo Island is located 54.5 km from Mokpo, and since ship operations can change moment by moment depending on weather conditions, it is necessary to check fog and storm warnings in advance," adding, "During the 10-day Hydrangea Festival, additional ships and shuttle buses will be operated."
