It was made up by planting 6,374 cherry trees under the sponsorship of the Association of Jeollabukdo People in Gwandong area of Japan, when the two-lane road between Jeonju and Gunsan was widened to the four-lane road named Beonyeongno. About 2,000 cherry trees in 18.2 km road, about a half of the road belonged to Gunsan, form a tunnel of cherry blossoms in spring.
