Sinan-gun Hosts Nation's Only 'Island Autumn Hydrangea Festival'

White Hydrangeas and Pampas Grass Make Their Debut

[Sinan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, will hold the only "Island Autumn Hydrangea Festival" nationwide at the Hydrangea Garden on Dochodo Island at the end of September.

In June, the "Island Hydrangea Festival," known as the summer flower herald, was held, attracting about 40,000 visitors to Dochodo Island before and after the festival. Many visitors continuously came to the Hydrangea Park, the Garden of Fantasy, and the filming location of Jasan-eobo.

Considering that Dochodo Island is located 54.5 km from Mokpo and has a population of about 3,000, the festival achieved the result of attracting more than ten times the population in visitors during the festival period.

Currently, pruning work on the wooden hydrangeas is underway for the Island Autumn Hydrangea Festival, and preparations are in full swing to showcase the splendid wooden hydrangeas during the festival.

Additionally, a pampas grass theme park has been created around Hydrangea Park, expected to provide another attraction in the autumn season.

An official from Sinan-gun stated, "Since this is the first attempt, we are doing our best to manage the wooden hydrangeas," adding, "We will provide various attractions for visitors and address the shortcomings of the previous festival to ensure there are no inconveniences."
