Gwangju Dong-gu Creates Unique Subway Tickets to Commemorate Chungjang Festival

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] Dong-gu, Gwangju (Mayor Im Taek) announced on the 14th that it will produce and distribute 2,000 commemorative promotional "Gwangju Metro Single-Use Tickets (Regular Tickets)" ahead of the '18th Nostalgic Chungjang Festival.'

Dong-gu created metro tickets engraved with the festival mascots Chungjangi and Geumnami to widely promote the safe and secure Nostalgic Chungjang Festival to not only Gwangju citizens but also visitors to Gwangju.

Dong-gu plans to prioritize distributing the limited-edition tickets mainly at stations frequently used by outsiders, such as Culture Complex Station and Gwangju Songjeong Station. The tickets can be continuously used through the 20 stations of Gwangju Metro Line 1 until they are worn out or lost.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, "This year, the Chungjang Festival, which attracts attention every year with new attempts and plans, has produced metro tickets that can actually be used," adding, "I hope that all citizens will keep one of these representative festival commemorative tickets of Korea’s Chungjang Festival."

Meanwhile, the 18th Nostalgic Chungjang Festival is scheduled to be grandly held for four days from the 18th to the 21st, mainly for pre-registered participants and those who have completed vaccination, across Dong-gu, including the May 18th Democracy Square.
