Geochang-gun Operates 1st Challenge for Geochang Incident Pilgrimage Certification

"We Will Remember History. We Will Not Forget."

Geochang County in Gyeongnam will operate the first 2023 Geochang Incident Pilgrimage Certification Challenge from the 12th, where participants visit sites of sacrifice related to the Geochang Incident to pay tribute.

This pilgrimage certification challenge, which has been promoted since 2021, is an event where participants visit pilgrimage sites in person to learn about the history of the Geochang Incident and reflect on the pain of war and the importance of human rights.

Gyeongnam Geochang Incident Memorial Park.

The challenge is conducted in conjunction with the Geochang County Health Center’s walking event, "Geochang Han Georeum," and the main designated pilgrimage sites include the Geochang Incident History Education Center, Tallyanggol Sacrifice Site, Baksan Joint Cemetery, Baksangol Bullet Marked Rock, and Cheongyeon Village Sacrifice Site, totaling five locations. Participants who visit four or more sites (with a mandatory visit to the Geochang Incident History Education Center) will receive a Geochang Love Gift Certificate.

To participate, install the mobile app "WalkOn," join the "Geochang Han Georeum" community, and select "Join the Geochang Incident Pilgrimage Certification Challenge (1st)." On weekdays, participants can receive their gift certificates by visiting the Geochang Incident History Education Center in person, and on weekends, at the Geochang Incident Office. Proxy receipt is not allowed.

The Geochang Incident Memorial Park is filled with various spring flowers such as tulips and daffodils, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the spirit of spring. Especially this year, electric mobility vehicles will be operated for those with mobility difficulties to enhance visitor convenience and satisfaction.
