The circular train, operated by Jeongeup City, runs around the 'Maple Land' area of Naejangsan Cultural Plaza, linking major tourist and experience zones. Previously, visitors had to walk across the large plaza, but since the train began operating, mobility has greatly improved.

The service has been especially well received by families with young children. Beyond simply providing transportation, riding the train itself has become a fun activity. As tourist destinations nationwide focus on expanding "stay-type family tourism," Jeongeup is also enhancing visitor satisfaction by combining convenient mobility with various experience-based content.

The circular train has improved accessibility to a range of facilities, including the Miracle Playground and Angel Heroes, where children can play; the National Leisure Camping Site; the Wood Culture Experience Center; the Forest Products Experience Center; and the Jeongeup City Museum.

Tourists can now conveniently enjoy multiple experience facilities without needing a car or walking long distances. This is expected to increase the time visitors spend at local tourist attractions and boost the rate of return visits.

Tickets can be purchased at the Angel Heroes ticket booth starting from 9:40 a.m., and passengers must obtain their tickets at least five minutes before each departure in order to board.

A Jeongeup City official stated, "With the operation of the circular train, it has become much more convenient to enjoy the experience facilities within the cultural plaza," adding, "We will continue safety inspections and expand content to create a tourism environment that satisfies both residents and visitors."
