Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Seongheon) will open the Hwangto Trail on Ansan (鞍山) Sanbok Road near the back gate of Yeonbuk Middle School in Yeonhui-dong at 11 a.m. on the 17th.

The 'Ansan Hwangto Trail' is 450 meters long and 2 meters wide, with foot-washing facilities and rest areas installed at both ends for comfortable use.

Unlike Hwangto trails in other areas, a fog fountain facility has been installed to keep the Hwangto soil always moist.

Additionally, a 'Hwangto foot bath' has been installed to provide a different kind of stimulation to the soles of the feet while walking on the trail.

To enhance user satisfaction, district officials visited Hwangto trails at Daejeon Gyejoksan, Dobong-gu Foot Park, Gangnam-gu Yangjaecheon Trail, and the Hwangto trail inside Gimpo Eco Healing Center.

The district filled the trail with a uniform mixture of masato (coarse sand) and Hwangto soil, and installed transverse drainage channels between the Hwangto trail sections to ensure good water drainage during rain and minimize soil erosion.

Lee Seongheon, Mayor of Seodaemun-gu, said, “We plan to gradually expand the barefoot Hwangto trails where people can become healthier and feel happiness while walking. We hope that the coexistence of nature and daily life experienced on the Hwangto trail will lead to vitality in everyday living.”
