This year’s Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award-winning Hwangmae Garden (located within Hwangmaesan County Park) was developed by creating walking trails and grass gardens around the existing landscape resources of Hwangmaesan.

Additionally, the hydrangeas planted around the walking paths provided summer attractions at Hwangmaesan, and the lawn plaza was transformed into a space that can be used for various programs.

County Governor Kim Yoon-cheol said, “Hwangmae Garden is a space where visitors can experience the diverse beauty of Hwangmaesan, which was previously hidden by azaleas and silver grass,” adding, “We will continue to focus on maintenance and management to convey the charm of Hwangmaesan throughout all four seasons to visitors.”
