Published programme

"Jirisan Sopung" is a walking event held annually along the Jirisan Trail, which began in 2011 with the aim of creating a culture of mindful walking in the Jirisan Mountains. The event rotates among the five cities and counties surrounding Jirisan: Namwon, Hamyang, Sanchung, Hadong, and Gurye. It provides an opportunity to experience the natural beauty of Jirisan, the local culture, and the people of the region. The 2026 event will be held in Sanch, starting at the Sanchung County Citizen Park, passing through Seonnyotang and Hanbat Village, having lunch in Sanchung-eup, and then returning to the Sanchung County Citizen Park via Hwanajeong, covering a distance of approximately 12 km. Various experience programs and events will be available along the walking route. After the walk, a "Sopung" market and cultural performances will be held at the Sanchung County Citizen Park. The market will feature local vendors selling food and crafts. Participants will receive a souvenir and a 10,000 won "Sanchung Love" gift certificate, which can be used in Sanchung-eup.
