Gochang-gun 'Moromoro Exploration Train' Revamp

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jae-gil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk, is receiving great responses after reorganizing the operation method of the ‘Moromoro Exploration Train’ that runs between the Dolmen Museum and the Dolmen Historic Site.

According to Gochang-gun on the 15th, the ‘Moromoro Exploration Train’ is a tire-type trackless train composed of 3 passenger cars and 1 power car.

Previously, it operated 6 to 7 times a day at one-hour intervals, but recently, a 23-seat exploration bus was introduced to operate alternately every 30 minutes from 10 a.m.

For visitors who want to enjoy the historic site more, only ticket holders are allowed to get off at Dolmen Historic Site Course 1 or Course 3 and board the next train arriving 30 minutes later.

Also, to practice social distancing in daily life as part of the government’s COVID-19 response, the train is operated with a capacity of fewer than 30 passengers.

The Gochang Dolmen Historic Site, registered as a World Heritage Site in 2000, has a dense distribution of over 500 dolmens, featuring various types such as table-type, checkerboard-type, and open-type dolmens.

By using the Moromoro Exploration Train, visitors can comfortably enjoy the World Heritage Gochang Dolmen Historic Site while admiring the surrounding outstanding natural scenery.

Yoo Chang-hyung, head of the Dolmen Historic Site Team at Gochang County Office, said, “The Moromoro train, decorated with the cute Gochang-gun character, has become a representative experience course for tourists visiting the museum. We ask for much interest and use of the reorganized Moromoro train so that many people can use it comfortably, and we hope you also enjoy various contents such as VR, AR, MR, and the free bicycle system.”
