【Financial News Muan=Hwang Taejong Reporter】Jeonnam Province is operating 172 rural experience and leisure villages to increase rural income and attract residents, and has newly selected Goheung Podu-myeon Ochwi-ri Byulnaro Village, which is perfect for a summer family travel destination.
 According to Jeonnam Province, approximately 1.3 million tourists visit the currently operating 172 rural experience and leisure villages annually, establishing them as a hub for rural tourism. The province plans to actively promote and support these villages continuously.
 The newly selected Byulnaro Village is an exotic experience and leisure village where you can experience the sea, rural life, and space all at once. With vast farmland and mudflats created in the reclaimed land of Haechangman, it is an attractive place where people of all ages can enjoy various experience programs and food in nature.
 In particular, the mudflat experience, where you can directly collect and observe various mudflat creatures such as clams, snails, conchs, and crabs, is very popular among family visitors with children. The seafood caught directly can be cooked and eaten immediately, allowing for a fresh food experience.
 Additionally, there is a space near the sluice gate of Haechangman where you can enjoy sea fishing against the backdrop of the open sea, allowing you to enjoy leisurely fishing while admiring the beautiful village scenery. Fishing equipment and life jackets are provided, making it easy for beginners to participate.
 You can also experience making yuja-cheong using Goheung's representative specialty, yuzu. While making yuja-cheong, you can learn about the growth process and benefits of yuzu, and you can take the yuja-cheong you made as a souvenir, providing both educational and practical benefits.
 Moreover, near Byulnaro Village, there are Goheung's representative tourist attractions such as Naro Space Center and Space Launch Observatory, where visitors can experience advanced space science. At the Naro Space Center, you can view exhibitions and videos related to space, and the observatory features exhibits that recreate actual launch scenes, allowing you to experience the current and future vision of Korea's space technology.
 Byulnaro Village currently operates seven pensions, and visitors who wish to stay overnight can find detailed information about accommodation on the village's official website.
 In addition, there are various tourist resources nearby, such as Namyeol Sunrise Beach, Nampo Art Museum, and Palyongsan Recreation Forest, making it suitable as a long-term stay travel destination.
 Kim Hyunmi, Director of Agricultural Policy at Jeonnam Province, said, "We plan to actively promote rural experience and leisure villages that are good for family travel during the summer vacation season," and "We hope visitors to rural experience and leisure villages create good memories."
