Jebu Island to Feature Scenic Loop Trail and Permanent Performance Venue

Hwaseong City will develop Jebu Island, the city's largest tourist destination, into a themed marine tourism resource by creating a permanent performance venue and a scenic loop trail.

According to the city on the 17th, Jebu Island in Seosin-myeon attracts an average of approximately 10,000 visitors on weekdays during peak season (July-September), 3,000 during off-season, and 6,000 on weekends, making it a popular tourist destination.

The city announced on the 17th that it will develop Jebu Island into a tourist destination with diverse experiences and attractions by creating a loop trail utilizing the surrounding landscape and establishing a permanent performance venue for various performances.

To this end, the city plans to invest 1.5 billion won to construct a permanent performance venue with a stage, seating area, grass plaza, and photo zones on a 3,535-square-meter site in Jebu-ri, Seosin-myeon.

The city will begin site acquisition next June, establish implementation plans, complete compensation for obstacles, and finish facility construction by 2013.

Additionally, the city will invest 300 million won next year to create a themed hiking trail spanning 0.8 kilometers around Tapje Mountain on Jebu Island, featuring a forest (5 hectares), scenic afforestation (1 hectare), observation deck, wooden stairs, and photo zones.

The city plans to connect the Tapje Mountain hiking trail and coastal path (deck) as a loop trail to create a walking route where round-trip travel is possible within one hour, offering tourists a unique convenience.
