There is an ecological park in Samcheok, Gangwon-do where you can observe the natural monument of cranes.
It has been six years since the temporary opening at a cost of 19 billion won.
With few visitors and no admission fee, it has become a waste of tax money.
Reporter Song Se-hyeok covered the story.

Cheonnyeonhak Healing Town in Samcheok, Gangwon-do.
This is an ecological park created for observation and research of natural monuments, cranes.
However, only 9 cranes are being raised in an area of 24 soccer fields.
There are no spectators, so you can feel the silence.
For six years, only 90,000 visitors were admitted.
The Cheonnyeonhak Healing Town started construction in 2011 and opened temporarily in 2018. The cost of fertilization amounts to 19 billion won.
We spend 600 million won on operating expenses every year, but we don’t make a single penny of profit.
This is because the entrance fee cannot be collected because the official completion was not completed.
