[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Two tourist attractions in Dong-gu, Gwangju, including Mudeungsan National Park and the National Asia Culture Center, have been listed in the 'Top 100 Korean Tourist Attractions.'

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Tourism Organization announced on the 13th the selection of 100 famous tourist destinations that both domestic and foreign visitors to Korea must visit.

Among them, Gwangju includes four places: ▲ Mudeungsan National Park ▲ National Asia Culture Center (ACC) ▲ Yangnim-dong Historical and Cultural Village ▲ 5·18 Memorial Park.

Mudeungsan National Park has been selected for four consecutive times, and the National Asia Culture Center for two consecutive years.

'Mudeungsan National Park' is the guardian mountain of Gwangju, featuring famous bizarre rock formations such as Ipseokdae and Seoseokdae, as well as renowned temples like Jeungsimsa and Yaksasa, attracting more than 3 million visitors annually.

'National Asia Culture Center' is the largest complex cultural and artistic institution in Korea, serving as a hub for experimental convergence content creation and production, as well as Asian culture investigation, research, and exchange. It operates various exhibitions, performances, and festivals, establishing itself as an open center that spreads the value of culture and arts.

The district plans to make every effort to create a 'stay-type cultural tourism city' by widely promoting the excellence of Dong-gu's cultural tourism resources through the operation of a 'Metropolitan City Tour,' a lifestyle tourism travel package called 'donggulife.kr,' and various other efforts to attract domestic and international tourists.

Im Taek, mayor of Dong-gu, said, "We will seek to attract tourists and revitalize the local economy by creating new tourism demand through various promotional methods using SNS and developing attractive tourism content combined with media art."
