This promotional activity marked the first itinerary of the "2026 Yangju City Urban Brand Nationwide Promotion Project, Paldo Gangsan Byeolsan Road." Through this project, the city plans to establish its first nationwide promotion model and raise awareness of its urban brand.

The city is promoting itself by directly visiting major tourist attractions across the country using the SNS character "Byeolsan." The "Byeolsan Car," a vehicle decorated with character stickers, was used to travel to various tourist attractions for the promotion.

On-site, Byeolsan participated in commemorative photo sessions and events with tourists, introducing the Hoeamsa Royal Festival, Yangju's representative traditional cultural festival. Tourists were informed about the festival schedule and Yangju's tourism resources to attract their interest.
