Each recognition tells a story of dedication and service, proof of how much effort the local government puts into making Gensan a better place for everyone.
There’s also a space that truly touched my heart, a small altar area where visitors can rest, reflect and say a prayer. It’s a thoughtful touch that shows how the city values not only work and progress but also peace of mind and spirituality. Around the hall, you will find plenty of comfortable sofas. Giving guests a cozy place to sit and relax while waiting or simply enjoying the view.
