In November, Uljin County in North Gyeongsang Province, in collaboration with the Gangwon Branch of Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL), is actively fostering premium local tourism products by operating a series of special tourist trains such as the "Gugak Wine Train" and the "East Coast Santa Train."

This special train, operated in partnership with the Gangwon Branch of KORAIL, departed from Seoul Station at 6:30 a.m., passed through Daejeon and Daegu, and arrived directly at Uljin Station at 1:00 p.m.

Notably, this is the first time since its opening that a large-scale tourist train with nine cars has stopped at Uljin Station, drawing the attention of both local residents and tourists. Uljin County plans to use this opportunity to further strengthen the connection between premium local tourism products and the railway network.

This special train, themed "Uljin Trip with Autumn Foliage and Seafood Festival," was designed so that tourists from the metropolitan area could travel to Uljin without transfers and enjoy their trip. In particular, the arrival of a nine-car tourist train at Uljin Station for the first time since its opening attracted significant attention from both local residents and visitors.

On November 6, tourists enjoyed the Wangpicheon Cable Car, Seongnyu Cave, and hot springs. On November 7, they visited Bulyeongsa Temple and then went to the Jukbyeon Port Seafood Festival, where they enjoyed lunch in small groups and purchased various seafood products before boarding the return train.

On November 18, the "East Coast Santa Train," which captures the spirit of winter, is scheduled to welcome families as tourists.

The East Coast Santa Train is a unique event train running along the East Coast with Santa Claus, featuring family-friendly activities such as a Christmas-themed atmosphere inside the train and commemorative photo zones. In addition, the itinerary includes enjoying the last of Uljin’s autumn foliage, visiting Uljin Bajige Market and Hupo Market, and experiencing the essence of autumn in Uljin.

County Governor Son Byungbok stated, "With the operation of this special train, we plan to continuously develop railway-based tourism products and intensify efforts to attract tourists by linking them with local festivals."
