Namwon-si Resumes Operation of Jirisan Jeongryeongchi Circular Bus

6 Times a Day Starting April 1

Namwon City announced on the 28th that the Jirisan Jeongryeongchi Circular Bus, which had been operating on a reduced schedule during the winter season since last November, will resume six trips per day starting April 1.

The Jeongryeongchi Circular Bus operates throughout various parts of Jirisan, including Jucheon, Unbong, Inwol, Silsangsa, Baemsagol, and Jeongryeongchi, and has received high praise from tourists visiting the Jirisan Dulle-gil trail. Due to road restrictions on Jeongryeongchi during the winter season, the bus had been running only three times a day up to Dalgung for passenger safety.

Since its first operation in 2019, the Jeongryeongchi Circular Bus has seen a steady increase in passengers, with over 13,000 tourists and citizens riding the bus to Jirisan last year alone. This year, it is expected to contribute to revitalizing the local tourism industry by linking city tours passing through Gwanghallu Garden with Jirisan visits.

The Jeongryeongchi Circular Bus, starting from Namwon Station, is available for a fare of 1,000 KRW, with the outbound route departing at 7:20 AM and the inbound route at 8:30 AM.

The bus operates six times a day in total, with three trips via the Jucheon-myeon route and three trips via the Inwol-myeon route. Additional detailed routes can be found on the Namwon City website.

A Namwon City official stated, “We will do our best to provide convenient transportation for the many tourists and citizens visiting Namwon so that they can comfortably visit Jirisan, fulfilling our role as a representative city for Jirisan tourism.”
