Jeongeup-si Installs Zip Wire in Gujeolcho Garden

Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk recently announced on the 18th that it will install a representative mountain-type adventure play facility, a zip wire, at Gujeolcho Garden, the only local garden in Jeonbuk, and start free operation.

The zip wire starts from the summit of Buchibong (260m), where Gujeolcho Garden can be seen clearly at a glance, crosses Churyeongcheon Stream and the lawn plaza, and arrives at the center of the garden. The total length is 550m and consists of two lines.

The city plans to operate it for free from the 23rd until August 31st, and charge a usage fee starting in September.

Operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. However, it is regularly closed every Monday and closed during the winter season (December to February).

Before the free operation, the city publicly recruited on-site staff from local residents, and completed advanced site visits, equipment and facility operation training, safety and emergency rescue training for them.

In addition, the city is preparing for full-scale operation by inspecting the operation system and identifying inconveniences and areas for improvement.

Mayor Lee Hak-su said, "With the installation of the zip wire, visitors can enjoy it at Buchibong, where Gujeolcho Garden can be seen at a glance, adding thrill and fun. We especially expect it to be a popular experience for visitors during the Gujeolcho Flower Festival held every early October."

He added, "We will do our best to ensure that the facility is always safe and comfortable through thorough inspection, improvement, and safety enhancement."
