According to Gwangsan-gu on September 29, Hwangryonggang Ecological Path 30 is a 12-kilometer section that stretches from Songsan Neighborhood Park, which contains the only island in Gwangju, through the Jangnok Wetland along Hwangryong River, to Donggok Dumoolmeori, where the Yeongsan River and Hwangryong River meet. Gwangsan-gu developed a design reflecting the path’s unique characteristics and historical significance, and installed 12 signposts, 3 photo zones, and 3 eco-friendly information boards along the route.

Additionally, a previously neglected retaining wall near the Hwangryonggang Ecological Garden has been utilized to create a promotional center, and three large promotional billboards, each measuring 12 to 16 meters in length, have been installed. The billboards feature the name 'Hwangryonggang Ecological Path 30' and a design symbolizing the otter, a representative animal of the Jangnok Wetland.

Park Byungkyu, head of Gwangsan-gu, stated, "With the creation of themed courses and the installation of promotional billboards, Hwangryonggang Ecological Path 30 has been reborn as a premier path where culture, ecology, and art come together." He added, "We will develop resident participation programs utilizing the facilities in each section to make this a path visited by many citizens."
