Songdo Pine Forest, a representative coastal pine forest of Pohang, has pine windbreaks planted since 1914 that have grown into large trees, covering an area of about 23 hectares. Underneath approximately 4,000 pyeong of coastal pines, more than 100,000 Liriope plants are densely planted, offering a unique sight to citizens visiting the Songdo Pine Forest Theme Street until the end of September.

Liriope is planted along a 1.5 km main walking trail of the Solnaeeum Dulle-gil within the pine forest. Recently, as barefoot walking has become popular here, visitors are expected to enjoy a beautiful purple spectacle while taking a stroll.

Lee Kyung-sik, head of the Greenway Promotion Division, said, “The Songdo Pine Forest urban forest, along with the Cheolgil Forest, is one of Pohang City’s representative urban forests. We are thoroughly managing it by removing dead coastal pines, maintaining support posts, and repairing facilities to provide citizens with beautiful sights. We hope many people enjoy walking the Dulle-gil trail to improve their physical health and find peace of mind while admiring the purple Liriope.”

The Pohang City Greenway Promotion Division dedicates itself annually to weeding in spring and summer, watering in summer, and fertilizing in winter to ensure the blooming of Liriope.
