The yellow Golden Shrimp Flowers blooming in the plaza of Mapo-gu Office are proudly displaying their beautiful appearance, warmly welcoming the residents.

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) planted about 800 Golden Shrimp Flowers in the garden of the plaza in front of Mapo-gu Office last May.

The garden was created to enliven the plaza in front of Mapo-gu Office, where various events including direct transaction markets are held, and to deliver the joy that flowers bring to the residents visiting the office.

The Golden Shrimp Flower, with its yellow body and curved white petals resembling a shrimp, embodies Mapo-gu’s wish for the successful hosting of the representative festival ‘Mapo Naru Saeujeot Festival’ held in October.

Along with this, Mapo-gu wanted to express gratitude to the residents who have shown great interest every year, helping the ‘Mapo Naru Saeujeot Festival’ to conclude successfully through the Golden Shrimp Flowers.

Mapo-gu expects that the Golden Shrimp Flowers, which bloom until November overcoming the midsummer heat, will become a representative attraction that brings happiness to the residents along with the ‘Mapo Naru Saeujeot Festival’.

Additionally, Mapo-gu planted a total of 14,170 seedlings of 32 diverse herbaceous species including herbs like lavender and flowers like marguerite, and installed fun design benches to provide daily enjoyment, making the plaza of the office a space where residents can take a break from daily life and enjoy the beautiful flowers.

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “We planted Golden Shrimp Flowers in the plaza in front of the office not only for the autumn when the Saeujeot Festival is held but also to widely promote the historical significance of Mapo in spring, summer, and winter.” He added, “Mapo-gu will continue to create ‘charming gardens’ filled with history and culture in each village so that residents can live with pride in Mapo.”
