After completing the College Scholastic Ability Test and wrapping up years of exam preparation, students are turning their attention to Uljin as a special destination for healing and relaxation.

With its pristine natural environment, soothing hot springs, and convenient tourism infrastructure, Uljin offers weary students a "pause-like journey" to soothe their tired hearts.

Accessibility to Uljin has greatly improved with the opening of Uljin Station on the Donghae Line, making it easier for visitors to reach the area by train. Upon arrival at Uljin Station, students can easily explore major tourist attractions using the local tourist taxi service. Drivers who are well-acquainted with the region personally guide visitors, and customized routes are available to fit individual schedules.

In particular, Uljin County subsidizes 60% of the taxi fare, allowing students to enjoy the service at a relatively affordable price.

A yacht experience on the waters off Uljin is considered a must-try activity. As students enjoy about an hour on a yacht with the sea breeze on their faces, their mental fatigue melts away. The Geumgang Pine Forest Trail is another highlight. Walking through the straight, towering pines and embracing the grandeur of nature, students can feel their accumulated exhaustion dissipate and a renewed sense of energy emerge.

County Governor Son Byungbok said, "I hope that students who have worked hard for so long will recover both body and mind in Uljin's clear natural surroundings," adding, "Uljin is a destination with convenient transportation that connects trains and tourist taxis, as well as pristine nature, making it a place anyone can enjoy without burden."

Uljin County is also planning a special mobile stamp tour event for students, offering them a unique source of enjoyment. Students wishing to participate can check the details of the event on the 'Stamp Tour' app starting from November 24.
