The Culture, Construction, and Safety Committee of the Jeonbuk Provincial Council (Chairman Lee Byeong-do, hereinafter referred to as the Culture Committee) announced on the 13th that during the 410th regular session, they conducted on-site legislative activities by visiting Sanchon in Suji-myeon, Namwon City, where a stone mosaic mural was created throughout the village, to hear about the promotion and proposals for revitalizing tourism.

According to the Provincial Council, since 2021, the village revitalization community in Sanchon transformed the existing painted murals, which had faded over time, into mosaic-style murals made of various stones. It is known that each stone mural contains stories and meanings.

This village won the Grand Prize in the Landscape and Environment category at the 8th Jeonbuk Saengsaeng Village Making Contest in 2021 and the Minister’s Award at the 8th Happy Rural Making Contest by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs in 2021. Near Sanchon, Sanchon Park and a mosaic mural theme road were established at the end of last year.

On this day, the Culture Committee members inspected the Sanchon area and received a briefing on the status of the stone mosaic mural village creation. They urged provincial officials to actively utilize Sanchon’s unique tourism resources and conduct various reviews to revitalize it as a tourist attraction.

Assemblyman Lim Jong-myeong (Namwon 2) said, "The Sanchon stone mosaic village still has an infinite potential to discover tourism resources," adding, "I hope measures to support tourism revitalization will be prepared, and efforts will be made to ensure that both visiting tourists and local residents have a space for rest and healing."
