Mokpo-si Creates Flower-lined Streets Along Major Arterial Roads

Urban Environment Cleanup to Welcome Large-Scale Visitors for the Two Major Sports Events

Mokpo City in Jeollanam-do promoted a street tree flower road maintenance event along major arterial roads at 23 administrative welfare centers on the 9th.


According to the city on the 10th, ahead of the 104th National Sports Festival and the 43rd National Para Games, they are conducting the city-wide movement called ‘2023 Hopeful Mokpo Making’ to welcome a large number of visitors.

The city-wide movement sets four major tasks: keeping promises for building a safe city that observes order and norms, village beautification to create a clean city with unique characteristics, a compliment campaign to realize a harmonious and communicative city, and sharing love to create a caring city together with neighbors.


The event was promoted as one of the detailed action tasks of ‘village beautification,’ one of the four key promotion tasks, to welcome 10 million tourists through hosting the two major sports events.


The city planted 10,000 Four Seasons Dianthus flowers in the space under the street trees. The purpose is to provide beautiful sights to local residents and tourists by creating small flower beds where perennial flowers can be seen in spaces that previously had weeds and illegal dumping of trash.


Four Seasons Dianthus is a perennial plant of the Caryophyllaceae family that blooms purple flowers even in cold winters, so it is called Four Seasons Dianthus because it blooms all year round.


Also, as years go by, it spreads softly covering the ground, which is effective in removing weeds under the street trees.


Based on continuous flower road maintenance, the city will do its best to create a tourism-specialized street to welcome large-scale tourists, and by analyzing this year’s project effects, it plans to increase the creation sections and planting quantities next year to further focus on making a clean city with unique characteristics.


Mayor Park Hong-ryul said, “To make Mokpo a charming tourist city that people want to keep visiting, a happy city good to live in, and a big Mokpo that young people seek, it is important for us to make efforts to keep the city clean and beautiful ourselves,” adding, “I expect that visitors will meet a bright and fresh Mokpo through the Four Seasons Dianthus flowers planted this time.”
