Since the Joseon Dynasty, our Jecheon has served as a central city for the production and distribution of herbal medicines as one of the three major herbal medicine markets, accounting for 30% of the nation's medicinal herb production and 80% of Hwanggi distribution.

Furthermore, along with the beautiful natural environment of Cheongpung Myeongwol, we are emerging as a global mecca for the Traditional Korean Medicine industry through resources such as the Industry-Academic-Research Cluster, the Village of Traditional Korean Doctors for ecological healing and tourism, and being selected as a 'WHO Healthy City.'

In particular, in September 2010, we successfully hosted the '2010 Jecheon International Oriental Bio Expo' under the theme of 'Rediscovery of Traditional Korean Medicine - Scientific, Industrial, and Global,' marking a major turning point in the industry's development.

Accordingly, Jecheon has established the 'Jecheon Oriental Expo Park' to create synergy from the 2010 International Expo and ensure continuous growth of the industry.

We have prepared programs to satisfy all five senses, including the Life Science Hall, International Fermentation Museum, Herb Garden, and Herb Market, which will provide great satisfaction to all visitors.

Thank you.
