Imsil Okjeongho Bungeo Island Ecological Park, rapidly emerging as the hottest tourist destination in Jeollabuk-do, is being transformed into an even richer ‘flower world.’

According to the county on the 4th, in celebration of Family Month in May, over 50,000 seasonal flowers of 29 species, including perennial herbaceous plants and alliums, were planted from the entrance of the suspension bridge so that the whole family can enjoy and heal together.

The park plans to create a year-round blooming floral landscape to impress tourists visiting Bungeo Island.

Additionally, in the approximately 3,800㎡ peony garden, visitors will be able to fully take in the sight of peonies in full bloom harmonizing with the open view of Okjeongho.

Moreover, the park is enhancing and creating charming and interesting photo zones, including the popular carp sculpture, a representative photo spot of Bungeo Island Ecological Park, and the newly established suspension bridge sculpture, attracting tourists as places to capture memorable photos.

The county expects that the entire area of Bungeo Island Ecological Park, designated as a forest bathing site, will allow visitors to stroll through the green forest and gain great benefits for mental stability and stress relief.

The park has been developed as a space where the whole family can visit and enjoy nature, featuring play facilities such as a forest playground for children, a children’s zipline, a forest slide, and a lawn plaza where children can run freely.

Thanks to this, the number of tourists visiting Bungeo Island Ecological Park by crossing the Okjeongho suspension bridge, officially opened in March, is steadily increasing.

County Governor Sim Min said, “During Family Month in May, I hope families and couples will visit Bungeo Island Ecological Park and create wonderful memories,” adding, “We will continue to strive to make Bungeo Island, the treasure island of Jeollabuk-do, a representative tourist destination in Korea that visitors want to return to.”
