Gwanggyo Lake Park's Azalea Hill Expanded in Scale

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon City announced on the 12th that it will expand the scale of the Azalea Hill previously created in the Gwanggyo Lake Park area last year to create a beautiful urban forest this year.

The city will conduct the '2022 Gwanggyo Lake Park Urban Forest Remodeling Project' by the 30th of next month with a budget of 485.9 million won (147.5 million won from provincial funds and 337.4 million won from city funds).

Last year from March to April, the city conducted the 'Gwanggyo Lake Park Citizens' Forest Creation' project, planting 23,700 mountain azaleas in the Sky Observatory area (2,600m²) of Gwanggyo Lake Park to create the Azalea Hill.

This year, an additional azalea hill covering 2,087m² will be created on the slopes around the Sky Observatory area of Gwanggyo Lake Park and alongside the Sindae Lake Walking Path.

The city plans to plant 41,900 spring-flowering azaleas (Zashan Hong) on the slopes overlooking Sindae Lake and other areas to provide beautiful scenery for citizens visiting Gwanggyo Lake Park.
