A Completely Transformed Garden and Newly Introduced Spectacle Attractions, etc.

On April 1st, the Suncheonman National Garden, which opened its doors, saw a massive influx of visitors over the weekend.

According to Suncheon City in Jeollanam-do, from the first week of opening, 210,000 people visited the Suncheonman National Garden, creating a blockbuster success story for the 2023 Garden Expo. On the weekend of the 6th and 7th, the number of visitors reached 120,000 in just two days, and the total visitors in the first week surpassed 210,000.

This aligns perfectly with the city's ambitious strategy to leap beyond being a garden city to becoming a garden culture city by integrating AI and cultural content into the national garden to captivate visitors.

The first attraction to captivate visitors was the ‘Space Bridge,’ which looks like a spaceship has just landed. Inside the 175-meter-long bridge, media productions stimulate visitors' curiosity and imagination, turning every corner into a photo spot.

Crossing the Space Bridge, visitors are greeted by the refreshing openness of the 5,000-pyeong floral space called ‘Space Hub.’ This area, where the Ani Avengers parade was held on the opening day with over 10,000 citizens participating, has become a new main point of the national garden with a dedicated observatory installed.

The national garden’s night premium tour, ‘Night Garden Tour,’ currently in trial operation, is very popular as visitors can deeply enjoy the beautiful nighttime scenery with professional guides.

Additionally, popular content attracting young visitors includes the cute stamp tour ‘The Little Gardener’s Adventure,’ the lively dancing cell characters in ‘Yumi’s Cells The Movie,’ a 4D stereoscopic theater, interactive exhibitions, and the Secret Adventure featuring projection mapping, all drawing crowds daily.

Visitors have expressed positive feedback such as “Moved by the beautiful garden views day and night,” “More fun with the new diverse content,” and “Planning to visit again to take photos of the splendid spring flowers.”

Mayor Noh Gwan-gyu of Suncheon said, “Along with the ambitiously introduced animation content, we will create a more dynamic and beautiful national garden with splendid four-season flowers and cultural events,” adding, “Now, please come to Suncheon to experience the ‘garden culture city’ and enjoy a time of healing and recharging.”

Meanwhile, the Suncheonman National Garden will operate year-round starting from its opening on April 1st, with closures on the last Monday of every month.
