About 50 participants in the event planted 600 Mokbaegilhong and Yeongsanhong trees together while reflecting on the meaning of Arbor Day. To enhance pride in the local area and spread a green culture in daily life, booklets introducing the beautiful spaces of Anyangcheon in Geumcheon-gu were distributed to all attendees.


The Sunheung An Clan Yangdogong Branch Cemetery is a cultural asset of Geumcheon-gu designated as Seoul City Tangible Cultural Property No. 74. Geumcheon-gu has signed a green space utilization contract with the Sunheung An Clan Yangdogong Branch Association and is promoting disaster prevention and park development projects.



Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “Mokbaegilhong has the flower language of ‘wealth and happiness,’ and Yeongsanhong has the flower language of ‘first love.’ I hope Geumcheon becomes prosperous with happiness and love, just like the flower meanings of these two trees.” He added, “We will strive to expand green spaces and create a ‘Green Happy City Geumcheon’ where people can live in harmony with nature.”
