Changwon Special City, "Jinhae Daejangdong Valley Becomes a Popular Water Play Spot"

Promotion of a Self-Directed Forest Trail Project
Created and Managed by Citizens

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam Province is promoting the Jinhae Daejangdong Valley Nuri-gil Creation Project, which was selected through a public contest as part of the 2025 Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Restricted Development Zone Resident Support Project.

Jung Gyu-yong, head of the Blue City Project Office, is holding a regular briefing.

Daejangdong Valley is a popular summer water play spot in Daejangdong, Jinhae-gu, and is also frequently visited by hikers who enjoy Bummosan and Gularmsan mountains. A total project budget of 500 million KRW, including 400 million KRW in national funds secured through the contest, will be invested to create a 6 km Nuri-gil trail, observation decks, and convenience facilities at this location.

In particular, this Nuri-gil creation project plans to form a citizen advisory group that will directly participate in the planning and overall execution of the project, promoting it as a self-directed forest trail creation project. The citizen advisory group will be formed in February, with ongoing discussions on creation plans and continuous monitoring of project progress. After completion, a commemorative citizen walking event will also be held.

Jung Kyuyong, Director of the Green City Project Office, stated, “Once the Daejangdong Valley Nuri-gil is created, it will become a family healing tourism destination where people can enjoy water play and heal their mind and body on forest trails. Attracting many tourists will have a significant effect on revitalizing the local economy.”
