[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The Incheon Wolmi Sea Train, which had been suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is resuming operations after about six months.

The Wolmi Sea Train, which stopped running after February 25, started operating again from 10 a.m. on the 11th.

Incheon Transit Corporation conducted a thorough inspection the day before to ensure compliance with quarantine rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19. They also carefully checked the safety status of the train and facilities due to the operational hiatus, as well as the progress of the themed stations that have been continuously developed since the opening, completing the final rehearsal for the resumption of service.

The Wolmi Sea Train operates on an online reservation system, and to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the passenger limit has been reduced from 46 to 17. Boarding is restricted for those not wearing masks or with a body temperature of 37.5℃ or higher.

To mark the resumption of operations, the corporation created tourism-themed spaces at each of the four stations.

At Wolmi Sea Station, there is a corner introducing the Wolmi 8 Views and a space for trying on late Joseon Dynasty costumes. At Wolmi Park Station, a virtual reality (VR) experience zone of Wolmido and an inner harbor observatory were installed.

At Wolmi Cultural Street Station, an Incheon Landing Operation art wall was installed along with a photo exhibition showing the transformation of Wolmi Cultural Street, and at Museum Station, a lighthouse photo zone and corners introducing Wolmido and the Open Port Museum were created.

The Wolmi Sea Train is the longest urban tourist monorail in Korea, circling a 6.1 km section around the outskirts of Wolmido.
