[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangdong-gu (District Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon)'s representative nature-friendly urban agriculture complex facility, 'Pamix Garden,' is returning with a new look.
At the Pamix Garden completion ceremony held on March 31, nearby residents and members of the Urban Agriculture Network who visited to see the newly renovated appearance expressed great anticipation as they toured various parts of Pamix Garden.
Starting from the welcoming gate that greets residents brightly at the entrance of Pamix Garden (145-6 Sangil-dong), walking along a small trail leads visitors to various themed gardens such as the hosta garden and the cypress forest, which soothe the eyes and minds of visitors. Additionally, resting areas resembling sunbeds are scattered throughout, attracting even more attention.
On this day, guests from various sectors attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony and commemorative tree planting event, brightening the occasion, and also took time to walk through the newly reborn Pamix Garden with the residents.
Located among large apartment complexes, Pamix Garden is expected to become a natural resting place for residents as an optimal space that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can conveniently use by realizing the value of people- and community-centered urban agriculture through urban agriculture-related education and experience programs, community gardens, and nighttime openings.
Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, "I hope Pamix Garden will emerge as Gangdong-gu's representative urban agriculture cultural space through this facility improvement project," and added, "We will continue to prioritize environmental conservation for a sustainable society and resident happiness, focusing on policies where people and nature can be happy together."
Pamix Garden operates from Monday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and from mid-April, when the weather warms up, it will also open at night, making it enjoyable to stroll along the illuminated nighttime trails.
Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Seon-gap) has installed a 'Virtual Fitting Experience Zone' at the Achasan History and Culture Promotion Center to expand Achasan's historical and cultural content and provide various experiences for tourists.
The 'Virtual Fitting Experience Zone' is a newly established area where visitors can virtually try on digitalized costumes from the Three Kingdoms period, which are usually difficult to wear, to stimulate visitor interest.
Participants can experience new historical and cultural content by virtually trying on Goguryeo general uniforms, Goguryeo noble attire, and more through the virtual fitting device.
In particular, with cooperation from the Gimhae Daeseong-dong Tomb Museum, costumes of the Geumgwan Gaya king and queen have also been prepared, along with various traditional Korean hanbok outfits. Additionally, photos taken through the virtual fitting device can be instantly saved to mobile phones, allowing visitors to share them on SNS and create enjoyable memories.
When the virtual fitting device is not in use, videos related to Achasan's history are screened on the screen, enhancing the educational function of the history and culture promotion center.
The video content includes ▲Geography and historical overview of Achasan ▲Archaeological overview and explanation of key terms, presented in an easy-to-understand manner suitable for children.
The 'Virtual Fitting Experience Zone' will officially begin operation on April 11 and is available to anyone visiting the Achasan History and Culture Promotion Center.
Kim Seon-gap, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, "We installed the virtual fitting device at the Achasan History and Culture Promotion Center, which had focused on explanations of Achasan Fortress and the surrounding fort relics and artifacts, to encourage the expansion of diverse historical and cultural content," adding, "We hope visitors who experience the virtual fitting device will actively share it on SNS, helping to widely promote the Achasan History and Culture Promotion Center."
Furthermore, to enhance understanding of Achasan's historical and cultural value, the district will resume the 'Achasan History and Culture Interpretation Project' from April. This project consists of a 'History and Culture Tour,' where participants visit major relic sites with professional guides, and a 'History and Culture Classroom,' where they can experience Achasan artifacts.
Geumcheon-gu (District Mayor Yoo Seong-hoon) will start operating an integrated civil service counter for automobile and motorcycle registration from April 1.
With the integrated counter operation, civil petitioners can process automobile and motorcycle registration civil affairs at any counter in a one-stop manner according to the order of waiting tickets.
Additionally, Geumcheon-gu has posted inspiring phrases at each counter to provide waiting residents with a moment of 'mental rest.'
Yoo Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, visited the Traffic Administration Division on the day and said, "The one-stop processing will reduce the inconvenience for residents visiting for automobile and motorcycle registration," adding, "We will continue to do our best to improve customer satisfaction through continuous work improvements."
