The project, which began in August last year, was promoted to improve the dark city image through systematic and consistent nightscape creation, and to promote tourist inflow and resident safety.

At the report meeting, a nightscape guideline for the entire city and specific implementation plans for seven nightscape attractions reflecting the characteristics of each zone were revealed.

The seven major nightscape attractions selected are Sosu Seowon, Museom Village, Yongmaru Park (tourism type), and Wondangcheon Walkway, Seocheon, Beongae Market, and Modern History and Culture Street (living type).

The plan includes creating an attractive nightscape space on the Wondangcheon Walkway with seasonal specialized lighting and establishing a warm night walking path harmonizing with nature around Sosu Seowon, reflecting the characteristics of each region.

Mayor Park Nam-seo said, “By developing unique night attractions exclusive to Yeongju City, we will contribute not only to the urban aesthetics but also to the tourism industry and the improvement of citizens' quality of life,” adding, “We will create a beautiful and safe Yeongju illuminated by night lights.”

Based on this plan, the city intends to accelerate the revitalization of the local economy and sustainable urban landscape management, fostering Yeongju’s nightscape as a new tourism resource.
