Changwon Special City Operates Special Naval Port Festival Route for City Tour Bus

Prepare a More Special Spring Trip with the Cherry Blossom Tour Bus

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam will operate a special route of the Changwon City Tour Bus that tours major cherry blossom spots in Jinhae-gu for 11 days from the 22nd to April 1st, coinciding with the nationwide cherry blossom festival, the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival.

The Jinhae Gunhangje Festival is the largest cherry blossom festival in the country, during which 350,000 cherry trees bloom and decorate the streets of Jinhae.

Last year, more than 4.2 million tourists visited to see the cherry blossoms blooming here during the Gunhangje Festival.

As many tourists visit Changwon during this period, due to increased traffic volume, most tourists park their cars in temporary parking lots provided by Changwon City and choose to walk to major cherry blossom spots to enjoy the blossoms.

The city operates the “Changwon City Tour Bus Jinhae Gunhangje Special Route” (hereafter referred to as the special route) so that tourists can enjoy the cherry blossoms in various ways.

The city tour bus can be a good alternative for tourists who have difficulty walking, want to see multiple cherry blossom spots at once, or want to enjoy a drive with cherry blossoms as the backdrop.

Tourists using the special route can enjoy Jinhae’s cherry blossom spots for about an hour while passing through ▲Jinhae Station ▲Jinhaeru ▲Gyeonghwa Station, among others.

The tour bus will operate with two double-decker buses, and if traffic congestion is severe, an additional single-decker bus will be operated.

Tickets can only be purchased and first boarded at Jinhae Station, and with one purchase, transfers are allowed at Jinhaeru and Gyeonghwa Station stops throughout the day.

Detailed information such as the special route timetable can be found on the Changwon City Tour Bus website or through the Changwon Facilities Corporation.

Park Dong-jin, Director of the Culture, Tourism, and Sports Bureau, said, “Sometimes new discoveries are made when looking from a different perspective,” and added, “We hope tourists visiting the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival will experience a new form of cherry blossom tourism through the double-decker city tour bus.”
