Sangnim Park's Moss Garden, which is gaining great popularity as a resting area and a learning space for children.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The ‘Ikkiwon’ within Sangnim Park in Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam, is becoming a new attraction along with the musical fountain and Yeonji Park.

According to the county, ‘Ikkiwon’ was created last August as a healing theme park where various mosses can be seen in one place, covering an area of 1,800㎡ around the musical fountain where moss naturally grew in Sangnim Park, with a project cost of over 100 million won.

Clear streams flow beside Ikkiwon, and a humid environment is formed under large trees, making it an ideal place for moss to grow. Various and unique moss species such as feather moss, mouse-tail moss, frost moss, silk moss, pine moss, umbrella moss, phoenix moss, and baby ivy lantern moss are planted there.

In addition, to harmonize with the moss, plants such as peacock maple, moss stones, ferns, and pretty wildflowers have been planted, making the Sangnim Park Ikkiwon more beautiful and abundant. It is gaining great popularity as a resting space for Hamyang residents and tourists as well as a learning space for children.

The county’s Cultural Facilities Office has devoted great care over the past year by assigning one dedicated worker and watering at night to maintain Ikkiwon as a mysterious green space where moss and nature blend harmoniously.

As a result, Ikkiwon has become the most popular spot within Sangnim Park, and inquiries about visiting and creating similar moss gardens are coming from all over the country through word of mouth.

The Hamyang-gun Cultural Facilities Office stated, “In the future, rather than focusing on physical hardware such as building facilities to attract tourists, we plan to operate Sangnim Park centered on software by developing unique and differentiated content that fits ecological characteristics like Ikkiwon.”
