In preparation for various tourism demands, Cheongsong County, together with local residents and 17 organizations, created a zinnia complex in Cheongsong Garden, which spans 13.8 hectares (approximately 42,000 pyeong).

This year, the zinnia complex is expected to be in full bloom until early October, following the Chuseok holiday when many people return to their hometowns. With zinnias in full bloom, Cheongsong Garden is anticipated to become a place where visitors can relax and experience happiness.

As with last year, the garden will be open to the public free of charge so that anyone can visit without burden. Visiting hours are from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (last entry at 6 p.m.).

Known as the largest zinnia complex in the country, "Oxygen Cafe Cheongsong Garden" attracted more than 150,000 visitors during the two months of September and October last year, establishing itself as a new tourist attraction in Cheongsong County. This year, various cultural events such as concerts and busking performances are scheduled to take place here every weekend, so the number of visitors is expected to increase even further.
