[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeollanam-do Hwasun-gun announced on the 25th that it will hold the '2022 Hwasun Chrysanthemum Festival' for 17 days from October 28 to November 13 at Namsan Park in Hwasun-eup.

After canceling the festival for two consecutive years due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the official festival will be held for the first time in three years.

The county decided not to hold large-scale events such as the opening ceremony, considering the COVID-19 quarantine situation.

This year, various landscape lights and emotional photo zones will be created so that visitors can enjoy the Chrysanthemum Festival at night, and it is planned to allow visitors to experience the unique charm of Namsan Park.

For the Chrysanthemum Festival, the county is cultivating and managing 270,000 plants of six species including chrysanthemums, butterfly needle flowers, and silver grass in Namsan Park, Hwasun-eup, and is also cultivating 20,000 pieces of chrysanthemum works including large chrysanthemum sculptures and bonsai chrysanthemums of 53 species at the crop nursery.

An official from Hwasun-gun said, "Every autumn, tourists from all over the country visit to enjoy the Chrysanthemum Festival," and added, "We hope you enjoy the autumn atmosphere at the colorful chrysanthemum hill unfolding under the blue autumn sky this year as well."
