These maps will be consistently available at major tourist spots in Pyeongchang-eup. Additionally, they will be distributed for free during the 'Twinkling Water Play in Pyeongchang Noramdeul' event, scheduled from July 25th to August 1st.

She added, "We hope many visitors will experience the charm of Pyeongchang-eup's various attractions and that it will help revitalize the local economy."
