Hampyeong County in Jeollanam-do announced on December 8 that it has newly renovated the Expo Park Natural Ecology Center as the "Cosmic Garden of Light" to carry the excitement of the Chrysanthemum Festival into the winter season.

The Natural Ecology Park received high praise from visitors this year for presenting the "Magical Cosmic Garden," which featured a Saturn sculpture, twelve comets, and a variety of wildflowers and autumn blooms in line with the theme of the 2024 Korea Chrysanthemum Festival, "Magical Chrysanthemum Land."

Building on this success, Hampyeong County has added subtle lighting to the Saturn and comet sculptures, transforming the space into the "Cosmic Garden of Light," which offers a completely different atmosphere from daytime.

Along the pathways, lights shimmer densely among the trees and flowers like tiny stars, while reflections on the ceiling create a mysterious sensation as if walking along the Milky Way. Softly flowing background music further enhances the dreamy ambiance.

At the center of the exhibition hall, a waterfall illuminated by flowing lights and powerful laser beams draws the eye as they cut through the space. The lasers contrast with the gentle lighting, creating light trails that spread out like the Big Bang, providing visitors with another captivating spectacle.

An official from Hampyeong County stated, "This exhibition at the Natural Ecology Center goes beyond simply adding lights; our focus was on creating an immersive cosmic experience where light, music, and the entire flow of the space come together as a single story. We hope that everyone who visits can step away from their daily routine and feel the special winter enchantment of strolling through a mysterious starlit garden."
