Use the 'City Tour Bus' to Enjoy the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival

Changwon Special City, 'Cherry Blossom Special Route' Operation

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam will operate a special city tour bus route from the 24th to April 3rd during the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival period, allowing visitors to comfortably tour major cherry blossom spots in Jinhae-gu.

The city expects a large crowd for the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival, held for the first time in four years, and to reduce tourist inconveniences such as traffic congestion and parking difficulties, as well as to create a safe festival environment, it decided to operate a city tour bus that only runs during the festival period around Jinhae’s cherry blossom attractions.

Changwon City in Gyeongnam will operate a special route from the 24th to April 3rd, during the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival period, to allow visitors to comfortably tour cherry blossom spots.

During this period, on weekdays, the city tour bus will depart from the temporary stop in front of Jinhae Station at 9:30 AM, 10:00 AM, 11:30 AM, 12:00 PM, 1:30 PM, 2:00 PM, 3:30 PM, and 4:00 PM, passing through Jinhaeru, Jinhae Marine Park, and Gyeonghwa Station before returning to Jinhae Station. It operates 8 times a day, with each round taking 1 hour and 30 minutes.

On weekends, the route operates without Jinhae Marine Park from the weekday route. It runs 16 times at 30-minute intervals from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with each round taking 50 minutes.

From the terminus at Jinhae Station, it is a 5-minute walk to Yeojeo Stream and an 8-minute walk to Jungwon Rotary, the main venue of the Gunhangje Festival, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the cherry blossoms while exploring every corner of Jinhae.

In particular, the Changwon City Tour Bus is a half top type with half of the roof open, so sitting in the rear seats with the open ceiling allows passengers to enjoy the cool breeze and falling cherry blossom petals.

No reservation is required; tickets can be purchased at Jinhae Station before boarding. One ticket allows unlimited boarding and alighting throughout the day at desired stops.

The fare is 3,000 KRW for adults, 2,000 KRW for youth under 19, children, and seniors aged 65 and over, and free for infants under 48 months.

Kim Jong-moon, Director of Tourism, said, “As this is the largest cherry blossom festival in the country held after a three-year hiatus, a large number of tourists are expected. We will do our best to improve transportation convenience and festival environment so that visitors who come to Changwon with excitement can have only good memories without any inconvenience.”
