Buyeo-gun, Chungnam, a UNESCO World Heritage city, announced on the 8th that it will create a Baekje-themed landscape along the Seongwang-ro section of the original downtown and the Gwanbuk-ri Historic Site section.

The county will invest 7 billion won to implement projects such as a hanok corridor, traditional gardens, and traditional streetscapes by 2026.

Additionally, traditional streetscapes will be created, including pavilions, Baekje-style Korean fences, and pedestrian paths featuring motifs from Baekje relics of the Sabi period.

The county expects that this project will not only improve the residential environment and establish new tourist attractions, but also contribute to revitalizing the surrounding commercial districts.

County Governor Park Junghyun said, "As the image of the area improved into a dignified historic city through the 2023 Jeongnimsa Temple Site Fence Lowering Project, the number of visitors to the area increased significantly," adding, "We will strive to ensure that the heritage of the past serves as a driving force for economic vitality, rather than an obstacle."
