Especially from this year, through a business agreement with the Muan County Disabled Welfare Center, high-quality daytime activity services will be provided not only to the general public but also to people with developmental disabilities.

The program will continue to be temporarily free until this year following last year, operating twice a day (morning and afternoon) from Tuesday to Sunday, each session lasting up to 2 hours. Reservations can be made through the Muan County website, phone, and Naver Place. The program is closed every Monday.

Governor Kim San said, “At the Mulmaji Healing Forest, where the sounds of water and wind can be heard, we will do our best to operate the healing forest so that many residents can relieve stress and anxiety and experience valuable time to reflect on themselves.”

Meanwhile, Muan Mulmaji Healing Forest, the largest in Jeollanam-do, was developed from 2016 to 2021 with an investment of 8 billion KRW on a 125-hectare site, including the establishment of a forest healing center, various healing forest trails, and healing gardens.

Along the nearby Yeonjingsan Mountain and its valley, the forest trails and gardens filled with 24,000 trees have been developed into various premium forest trails, emerging as a place for visitors to rest and heal. Last year, about 32,000 people visited, and 3,535 participated in the healing programs, making it a new green tourist destination in Muan.
