On the 16th, a rice planting event is taking place in the rice paddy garden at Ulsan City Hall yard.

This paddy garden was created to offer citizens an opportunity to appreciate the value of food by witnessing rice ripen and to provide a space for experiencing rural life.

The rice used for planting, named "Cheongnyeommi" (meaning "Integrity Rice"), was chosen to symbolize integrity.

"Cheongnyeommi" represents the idea that Ulsan public officials will plant and nurture the seeds of integrity within the city hall, renewing their commitment to integrity and putting it into practice together.

Ulsan City plans to plant three types of "Cheongnyeommi"?non-glutinous rice, black rice, and glutinous rice?and to cultivate them using eco-friendly farming methods, such as releasing native loaches and snails.

Ulsan Mayor Kim Dookyum said, "By creating a small paddy in the city hall's living garden and growing 'Cheongnyeommi,' we are providing citizens with a unique attraction and a place to relax in the heart of the city. All public officials in Ulsan will take the lead in building a 'greater and prouder Ulsan through integrity.'"
