   Yeongdeok Sunrise Park

   영덕해맞이공원

   The East Coast area of Changpo-ri, which was once surrounded by the nation's cleanest waters and dense black pine forests, was left in ruins after a major forest fire in February 1997. After four years of efforts, a man-made park was created utilizing the magnificent coastal scenery and an unmanned lighthouse. Boardwalk stairs were made from fire-damaged trees to create walking paths, observation decks were built for photography and panoramic views, and pergolas were set up as resting spaces. In addition, 18 types of fish sculptures were installed harmoniously with real-time broadcast music, and a nature learning site was created with wildflowers and native trees, where 300,000 plants of 15 wildflower species such as daffodils, seashore spatulate chrysanthemums, and Korean starworts were planted, along with 70,000 trees of 8 native species such as beach roses, camellias, and flamegold trees.MoreLess
