On the morning of the 15th, Mr. Choi (67) was climbing Yudalsan Mountain when he saw new shoots sprouting from the broken Wangja Robinia tree and, feeling sorrowful, submitted a photo.

In particular, Mokpo City promotes this tree as a rare endemic species of Korea that is nearly extinct, naturally growing only in the Mokpo area and islands of Jeonnam Province, and emphasizes its high conservation value from an academic perspective.

However, since this treasure of Mokpo is suffering difficulties on Yudalsan, the city's representative tourist site, thorough management by the city is strongly required.
