270,000 Tourists Visited
Contributed to Revitalizing the Local Economy
Haman County in South Gyeongsang Province announced on June 9 that approximately 270,000 visitors flocked to its "Spring Flower Scenic Area," which was operated from May 10 to June 3, making it the most popular attraction during the period.
Along the 7.2-kilometer stretch of Agyang Dukbang by the Nam River and across a 13-hectare riverside area, a variety of spring flowers such as flowering poppies and baby's breath were planted, creating a large-scale flower path and natural landscape. Based on this, the spring flower scenic area was operated for 25 days.

In particular, on weekends, numerous tourists from across the country visited Haman Agyang Dukbang and other local attractions, which led to increased sales not only at restaurants and cafes near Agyang Dukbang but also at eateries throughout the county. During the same period, a direct trade market was also held, resulting in the sale of 250 million won worth of local agricultural products, thereby making a significant contribution to revitalizing the local economy.
An official from Haman County said, "We are proud that Agyang Dukbang has established itself as the nation's top spring flower destination, where 270,000 visitors enjoyed the flowers and found healing. We will prepare beautiful autumn flowers for September, so we hope you will visit Haman Agyang Dukbang again."
