Do You Know 'Gunwi Maenbal School'? ... Opening Ceremony at the Hwangtotgil Experience Center

On the 1st, the 2nd Gunwi Barefoot School opening ceremony and Gunwi County residents' Ana-bada event were held at the Gunwi-eup Living Culture Center in Gunwi-gun, Gyeongbuk, under the theme of 'Barefoot Walking to Improve Health.'

Gunwi-gun created additional barefoot healing walking paths within the barefoot healing walking experience site, which was established around this time last year in response to COVID-19. These include a loess path (length 200m, width 1m), a sandy soil path (length 400m, width 1m), and a sand path (length 200m, width 1.5m), sparking a barefoot walking craze among residents.

Residents of Gunwi-gun, Gyeongbuk, are participating in a performance at the Barefoot School.

At this event, Professor Kwon Taek-hwan, principal of Daegu Barefoot School and a professor at Daegu National University of Education, was invited to give a special lecture titled "Why is Barefoot Walking Good?" providing attendees with a firsthand experience of the benefits of barefoot walking.

Kim Jin-yeol, the governor of Gunwi-gun, walked barefoot with the attending residents and shared his thoughts, saying, "If our residents can be healthier than any other region in the era of 100-year lifespans through barefoot walking to improve health, I would be grateful."
