According to Jangseong County on May 20, Hwangmir Land is a children's specialized park located on an island in the middle of the upper reaches of the Hwangryong River. Covering a vast area of 36,553 square meters, it is filled with facilities for children, such as swings, rope playgrounds, and a zipline.

To ensure children can play safely, the park was designed so that vehicles can only access the island via a pedestrian bridge, with special attention paid to safety.

On the grassy hill, there is also a "Hobbit Cave," modeled after the homes of hobbits from the movie "The Lord of the Rings." The cozy indoor space is equipped with arcade game machines and wooden play equipment, making it a perfect spot to take a break from the sun.

There is also a "Barefoot Yellow Soil Path" designed for older visitors. Walking barefoot along the 700-meter yellow soil path encircling Hwangmir Land while enjoying the scenery quickly melts away stress. At the entrance, there are places to store shoes and wash feet.

The park is also equipped with a stream-style water play facility measuring 100 meters, and it is expected to attract even larger crowds once the heat of summer fully arrives.

Mr. Kim, who visited Hwangmir Land with his family, said, "We come here often because transportation is convenient," adding, "It's nice and relaxing to set up a tent near the playground and spend the whole day here."

There is also a noteworthy update. Jangseong County will operate a "Book Camp Picnic Zone" at Hwangmir Land during the "Jangseong Hwangryong River Music Healing Festival," which will be held from May 23 to May 25. Visitors can create memories reading books inside an Indian tent.

Shim Woo-jeong, acting governor of Jangseong County, stated, "We will continue to build on the unique strengths of Hwangmir Land, which has received positive reviews from families, and develop it into an even more attractive destination for outings. In the long term, we plan to make it the representative landmark symbolizing the Jangseong Hwangryong River."

Currently, Jangseong County is devising measures to promote stay-type tourism centered around Hwangmir Land. According to the "Final Service Report on the Establishment of the Basic Plan for Hwangryong River Tourism Infrastructure," released last year, the county envisions building lodging complexes, industrial complexes, and "co-working stations" where people can work and stay in the upstream area near Hwangmir Land. If implemented as planned, it is expected to become a central hub driving the revitalization of stay-type tourism.
