View original imageHampyeong County in Jeonnam announced on September 22 that it has been finally selected for the '2026 Local Heritage Utilization Project,' a public contest organized by the National Heritage Agency.
From March to December next year, Hampyeong County will run the program 'Along the Tranquil Forest Path to Hampyeong Hyanggyo,' utilizing Hampyeong Hyanggyo (a Jeonnam Provincial Tangible Cultural Asset) and the forest of zelkova, hackberry, and hornbeam trees in Hyanggyo-ri (a Natural Monument).
The aim of this project is to shed new light on the historical and ecological value inherent in Hampyeong Hyanggyo and the Hyanggyo-ri zelkova forest, and to recreate them in a modern way as an experiential cultural space where both local residents and tourists can enjoy together.
Key programs include the 'Hampyeong Scholar's Wisdom Trail' trekking, an exploration program where participants can experience the atmosphere of Gisan Yeongsu with all five senses. There will also be 'Gisan Yeongsu Pause Time,' a traditional music and healing program held in the forest.
A cultural event titled 'Hyanggyo, Reciting a Millennium' will also be organized to highlight the history and culture of Hampyeong Hyanggyo, allowing participants to experience and learn about local traditions firsthand. In addition, the 'Multicultural Hampyeong' exchange program will be operated for multicultural families and local residents, and all programs are open to everyone.
