The aim is to develop a signature local attraction where citizens can easily encounter the Mugunghwa, the national flower, close to their daily living areas.


The city plans to invest a total project cost of 400 million won to plant 5,198 Mugunghwa trees within Bitnuri Jeongwon and to create walking trails that citizens can use.


The planned Mugunghwa hill will be designed not just as a simple planting space, but as a place where people can experience the symbolism and beauty of the Mugunghwa in their everyday lives.



Joo Nak-young, Mayor of Gyeongju, said, "The Mugunghwa Hill Development Project is highly meaningful in that it will allow citizens to encounter the national flower, Mugunghwa, close to their daily lives," adding, "We will ensure systematic development so that it can become a new landmark of Hwangseong Park."
