Take the Train to Welcome Spring at Seomjingang Gichamaeul

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cha Jong-sun] Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it has launched an individual free travel package using trains called the Seomjingang Train Village Package (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Seomjingang Package’) in collaboration with the Korea Railroad Corporation Jeonbuk Headquarters.

The Seomjingang Package is a day-trip product that includes round-trip train fare, admission to the Train Village, and a chocolate-making experience.

Train boarding is possible from any station where the Honam Line KTX stops, starting from Yongsan Station, where the KTX departs. Additionally, the chocolate-making experience is designed to allow a choice between a single-person experience and a four-person experience.

Reservations for the product can be made on the ‘Let’s Korail website - Travel Products - Domestic - Jeolla Region’.

According to the current website, prices start from 61,400 KRW.

The Train Village admission fee is offered at a 20% discount, priced at 4,000 KRW, and the chocolate-making experience is subject to a 5% discounted rate.

Considering that the round-trip KTX fare from Yongsan Station to Gokseong Station on weekdays alone is about 80,000 KRW, a significant portion of travel costs can be saved.

However, depending on the date, discounts on train fares range from 10% to a maximum of 70%, and since the chocolate-making experience is available as either a single-person or four-person experience, the package price may vary slightly depending on the choice.

This package product was created through a business agreement for the development of train-linked travel products signed on January 14 between Gokseong-gun and the Korea Railroad Corporation Jeonbuk Headquarters.

Both organizations are working together to develop various train-linked products for customers who prefer safe travel due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, various monthly events will be held year-round at Seomjingang Train Village starting this year.

Currently, ahead of White Day, the Korean Chocolate Research Institute Museum in Seomjingang Train Village is conducting ‘Making the One and Only Chocolate in the World’ until March 31.
