The city of Busan said that quarantine is a priority, and the festival is about to be held on a reservation basis, leaving only a portion of the rape flower fields overturned. However, the Gangseo-gu Office is in a position that it is better to observe the quarantine rules and enjoy cherry blossom viewing without having to change. In the case of last year, the entire rape flower field was plowed and the festival was canceled.

Instructions to comply with the rules at the site

Busan City visited Gangseo-gu Office in the morning of the 25th to discuss the direction of the Busan Nakdong River Rapeseed Flower Field Festival, which will be held in Daejeo-dong, Gangseo-gu from the 9th to 11th of the following month. The core of the discussion on this day was the treatment of rape flower fields. The area of ​​rape flower fields along the Nakdong River in Daejeo-dong, Gangseo-gu is 760,000 square meters (230,000 pyeong). In the case of last year, when the Corona 19 spread, Busan city overturned the entire flower garden.

The city of Busan has not canceled this year’s festival, but has come up with a compromise plan to keep the quarantine rules and conduct the festival. However, only 60m in width and 90m in length (5400m², about 1600 pyeong) of the rape flower field will remain, and the festival will be held on a reservation basis. As a measure to reduce the number of visitors, the number of visitors per hour is limited to 50. As a rule of quarantine, up to 100 people can gather at the festival. Busan City cut it down to 50 people, or half, in case of any possible infection. Busan City is about to erect a 3m high screen around the rape flower field. This is to prevent people who have not made a reservation.

In the Busan city’s decision, the Gangseo-gu Office reversed the proposal to reduce the area to be changed as much as possible, as it could comply with the quarantine rules. Gangseo-gu Office argues that even if it is not called a’festival’, the citizens should be able to come and see the flowers freely. Gangseo-gu Office believes that if citizens thoroughly wear masks, it is an outdoor festival, so there will be no major obstacles to quarantine. Gangseo-gu mayor Noh Gi-tae said, “If the flower garden is preserved widely, the space is large, so it is possible to disperse and keep people apart.” Explained. He then pointed out, “It is funny to leave only a small part of the flower garden and keep it covered and to prevent citizens from seeing the flower.”

Gangseo-gu Office asks why the city of Busan dared to sow rape flowers last year if it had to plow the rape flower fields because of the corona 19 infection. In April of last year, Busan renovated the entire rape flower field in Daejeo Ecological Park. Then, in September of the same year, the city of Busan planted rape flowers again. An official from the Busan Agricultural Technology Center explained, “We anticipate that the corona will continue in 2021, and we have reduced the seeding amount of rape flowers from 2 tons in 2019 to 1 tons in 2020.”

Regarding this, the head of the Busan City Tourism Promotion Department Gang Gyeong-don Festival Promotion Team said, “Corona quarantine is the top priority for now,” and said, “Since there are still two weeks left for the festival, we will observe the corona situation and discuss ways to use the space and discuss with the Gangseo-gu office.” Revealed.
