As Typhoon 'Kanun' approaches the north,

five days until the 12th and participate in cultural tourism programs prepared

The city, in cooperation with the Daejeon
Fire Headquarters and Daejeon Police Agency, aims to manage the safety of

utilizing facilities such as the National Science Museum and Daejeon Expo
Aquarium. The cost incurred by operating the programs will be borne by Daejeon
City, the National Science Museum, and Shinsegae, respectively.
Locations such as Gyejoksan Hwangto
Trail, Hanbat Arboretum, Natural Monument Center, and Dunsan Grand Park are
also candidates for experiencing local ecological culture.
Participants will travel to Seoul to

and comfortably in Daejeon," adding, "We will also make efforts in
program operation to firmly carry the image of Science Capital Daejeon while
staying in Daejeon."
