[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 6th, Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it secured 600 million KRW in national and provincial funds after being selected for three projects, including the World Heritage Utilization Project, which was open for applications to promote the value and significance of World Heritage sites, supported by the Cultural Heritage Administration.
The ‘Prehistoric Culture Experience Program,’ a utilization and promotion project for the World Heritage Hwasun Dolmen Site, along with various content productions using VR, allows visitors to richly experience the culture of the Dolmen era, maintaining steady popularity among family visitors with children.
Additionally, by promoting the maintenance project around the protective pavilion of the dolmen excavation site, a preservation support project, it is expected that the status of Korean dolmens as a World Cultural Heritage will be elevated to a higher level.
In particular, the county plans to hold a 'Four Seasons Flower Festival,' where flowers bloom year-round starting this year, to widely promote the dolmen site and revitalize the local economy.
Park Yonghee, Director of the Culture and Arts Division, said, “We will earnestly carry out the World Heritage support projects to become a representative hub for Korean dolmens and do our best to widely inform domestic and international tourists visiting the dolmens about the value and historicity of the World Heritage.”
