This local tour, which consists of a total of eight themes, is focused on helping visitors from outside Jung-gu discover the district's hidden everyday attractions and experience its culture, history, and stories.

The content for each theme will be developed in collaboration with local residents, community activists, and young people, vividly conveying the spaces and stories of Jung-gu.
Kim Jesun, Mayor of Jung-gu, stated, "This local tour will be more than just sightseeing; it will be an opportunity to discover the hidden charms throughout Jung-gu. I hope many people will participate and have a meaningful time connecting with the everyday life of the district."
