The mascot of Gumi City can't be anything but a turtle! However, the turtle represents much more than just the city's name. The friendly demeanor of the turtle represents the warmth and friendliness of Gumi City. At the same time, its longevity and good health symbolize a history of vitality and innovation. In the picture, the turtle engraved on the side of the cup has its head slightly protruding from the edge of the cup and its forelimbs tightly attached to it, as if it can't wait to taste the wine in the cup!
