The Nanji Theme Tourism Forest Trail ‘Poet’s Street’ is a unique street in Mapo-gu where 370,000 herbaceous plants such as Lycoris radiata, Lycoris aurea, and Liriope muscari have been planted, and 50 beautiful and lyrical poems that harmonize with the flowers are displayed.

The ceremony was attended by about 400 people, including Mayor Park Gang-su, Mapo-gu council members, literary association members, residents, and related officials. The event began with a pungmul performance, followed by an unveiling ceremony, progress report, congratulatory speeches, and concluded with a poetry recital of the poems displayed on ‘Poet’s Street.’

The second part of the event, the ‘Forest Concert,’ featured a string quartet by SSAC Quartet and vocal performances by singers Kim Hee-jung and Ha Soo-bin, providing a colorful summer night experience for the residents visiting ‘Poet’s Street’ in the cool night air.

Mayor Park Gang-su said, “I am delighted and deeply moved that Nanji Island, once soaked with Mapo’s tears, has been reborn as a flower path filled with people’s laughter and hope. I hope that the Nanji Theme Tourism Forest Trail ‘Poet’s Street,’ transformed into a place where beautiful flowers bloom all year round and poetry flows, will become a new tourist attraction not only in Mapo but throughout Seoul.”
