Additionally, a themed forest trail including Lilac Garden, Silk Tree Road, and Baby Camellia Road was created in a vast area of 280,000㎡ (85,000 pyeong) around the nearby Jangdong Reservoir, where a total of 288,000 plants such as Summer Lilac and Willow Lythrum were planted.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “I thank the residents of Jido-eup, especially those of Jangdong Village, who endured inconveniences during the construction period and those who generously gave up their precious land that they had cultivated throughout their lives. We will continue to manage the Lilac Garden so that you can see a garden that develops even more than it is now.”
