This Heungseon District Tea Time took place at Hoho Dang Branch 2, a venue used by seniors as a leisure and rest space.

Seniors freely enjoy activities such as playing Go, Janggi (Korean chess), and reading. In addition, monthly programs including mobile welfare counseling, volunteer hairdressing services, and depression prevention education are also offered, leading to high satisfaction with an average of 120 daily users.

During the Tea Time, key local issues were reported, including: major changes in the Heungseon District, snow removal measures for Heungseon and Howon districts, and the establishment of a new express bus route between Heungseon District and Gwanghwamun.

Additionally, proposals were made to develop tourism resources and revitalize the local economy in Heungseon District, such as installing a water play facility at Angol Valley and establishing a comprehensive youth training center in Sangjik-dong.

Leaders of organizations in Heungseon District also conveyed suggestions to improve the quality of life for local residents and promote district development, including: developing tourism resources utilizing Hongboksan, holding on-site briefings for each redevelopment area, improving the traffic system at the Gyoe-seon railway crossing, and enhancing the hiking environment at Angol Trail.

The city plans to review the submitted suggestions through the relevant departments and share the progress at the next Tea Time.

Mayor Kim Donggeun stated, "It is important to listen to voices from the field in order to create change in the community together," and added, "We will continue to develop practical improvement measures focused on district-specific issues and residents' opinions."
