Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, has created a green barley field in collaboration with 18 local communities and organizations, including members of the Cheongsong Apple Association, to provide new attractions during the non-blooming period and to increase income for livestock farmers at Cheongsong Garden, a leading eco-friendly garden in Korea. The garden will be open free of charge from April 29 until June 5, before Mangjong (Grain in Ear).


Sanso Cafe Cheongsong Garden spans a vast area of 42,000 pyeong (approximately 138,843 square meters) and offers new seasonal attractions by planting green barley in spring and zinnias in autumn to welcome visitors.


In particular, last autumn, about 150,000 people visited the largest zinnia field in the nation over two months from September to October, establishing Cheongsong-gun as a new tourist destination.


During the fragrant spring season, the county has opened the garden free of charge to soothe the regret of the quickly fallen cherry blossoms and to allow everyone to fully enjoy the spring atmosphere of Cheongsong. It is expected that many visitors will feel abundant happiness while enjoying the fresh green barley at Cheongsong Garden.



County Governor Yoon Kyung-hee said, “I am very pleased that Cheongsong Garden has been reborn as a healing space that delights the hearts of residents and visitors,” and added, “We will do our best to revitalize the local economy and develop it into a tourist attraction that offers both sights and relaxation to tourists.”
