A Total of 500 Million KRW from National and District Funds Invested to Create a 600m Clay Path along Anyangcheon... Comfortable Use Enabled with Convenience Facilities like Foot Washing Stations and Shoe Racks... Continuous Clay Path Development Planned in Mullae-dong Resident-Friendly Gardens for Residents' Health

Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Choi Ho-kwon) announced that it has created a 600-meter-long Hwangto Trail along Anyangcheon and opened it to residents this year.

Considering residents' accessibility, the district divided the Hwangto Trail into three sections: ▲ from Yangpyeong Bridge to Yangpyeong 2 Pedestrian Overpass ▲ from Yangpyeong 12 Pedestrian Overpass to Mokdong Bridge ▲ from Omok Bridge to Sinjeong Bridge.

Amid the nationwide trend of barefoot walking culture spreading recently, the district focused on enhancing health benefits for residents by constructing the barefoot trail along Anyangcheon using Hwangto (yellow soil).

The Hwangto Trail is equipped with various convenience facilities, including shoe racks and foot washing stations, allowing residents to use it conveniently and comfortably at any time. Additionally, the trail was built on the embankment so that residents can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Anyangcheon throughout the year.

Currently, besides Anyangcheon, temporary Hwangto Trails have been created in ▲ Singil 9 District Park ▲ Gochu-mal Children's Park ▲ Peace Children's Park ▲ Jungang Children's Park ▲ and the green area in front of Daerim 3-dong Hyundai Apartments.

The district plans to create a Hwangto Trail within the resident-friendly space to be established on public land in Mullae-dong and stated that it will continue to develop Hwangto Trails to promote healthy living for residents.

Choi Ho-kwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo-gu, said, “I hope this Hwangto Trail project will provide a good opportunity for residents to practice healthy living in their daily lives,” and added, “We will continue our efforts to make Anyangcheon a vibrant living space for residents.”
