this timeSeoul Suburbs Day TripThe first stop – Gangchon Railway Theme Park (Korean: 강촌레일파크), is about an hour’s drive from downtown Seoul.
Attractions
The old Jingchun Line, which was decommissioned due to the opening of the Jingchun Line Tram, is no longer used by trains and replaced by railway bicycles. Depart from "Jin Yuzhen (Korean: 김유정역)" station on the Gyeongchun Line to "Jiujiangcun" station. The distance is about 8.5 kilometers. The first 6 kilometers of the road are railway bicycles, and the second half of the 2.5 kilometers of the road is taken by the romantic train . The railway bicycle section is basically a downhill road, so it won't consume too much leg strength. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the river along the road. The rich man highly recommends it!
Arrive at the gate of Jiangcun Railway Theme Park at about 9:40 in the morning.
The railway is in the waiting area, covered with colorful umbrellas.
There is a souvenir shop next to the waiting area, did you find anything?
Small pool landscaping next to the waiting area.
Tickets in hand, ready to go!
The railway is full of bicycles, and there are a lot of them, so there should be no need to worry about not getting a ride.
The difference between a tandem bicycle and a four-person bicycle is that petite children may not be able to pick it up. The little rich man is about 114 cm tall. This time he can’t pick up the pedals properly. Adults have to work hard.
Precautions will be posted on the bicycle and on the road. Friends, please observe the safety distance when cycling, because some downhill sections are really fast, and if the speed is too fast, it will be dangerous.

Let's start the railway bike!
Ready to enter the first cave.
The theme of the first cave is colored paper pinwheels.
The long railway bicycle team, in fact, quite a lot of bikes set off together, the distance between each other is relatively close at the beginning, and the distance will be farther in the middle and second half.
The second cave.
The theme of the last cave is electronic music. The flickering lights and electronic music make passengers feel high. It really makes people feel like they are in a nightclub. Be careful not to fall outside (laughs).
Shortly after passing the third cave, you will go to a platform area to rest, and the railway bicycle journey will come to an end. The rich family waited in the rest area for 20 minutes, but could only hide in the white tent because of the rain.
There are toilets and a small shop on the platform area, and the business is particularly good when everyone is waiting for the shuttle bus to arrive (laughs).
shuttle train
When the connecting train came, everyone flocked to it.
The carriages were packed to the brim, and this time it felt like most of them were foreign tourists. The tour guide especially reminded that if you want to go to the toilet after getting off the bus, you should choose the first car, so that you don’t have to squeeze the toilet with others when you get off the bus and go faster.
The speed of the connecting train is very slow, and it takes 15 minutes to reach the destination. You can take the opportunity to take a rest on the train. If you want to enjoy the scenery outside the train, it is recommended to choose the window seat on the right hand side, and the window on the left hand side is close to the mountain.
Seats in the third car.
The retro-looking locomotive stopped at the terminal and waited to take photos with everyone.
From here, you can see that the train actually has three carriages, like the three little pigs, the first carriage is the simplest, the second carriage has a reinforced roof, and the third carriage is the most solid and luxurious (laughs).
As you can see from this map, the place where the shuttle train gets off is still a short distance from the parking lot, about 5 minutes away.
Finally, say goodbye to the bird station master.
rich man experience
Since there are three people in the wealthy family, we rented a four-seater rail bike this time, and one other group member joined us to make up the four people. The rich man is sitting in the back seat, so when taking pictures, the head of the passenger in front, the rear mirror or a pole are often photographed (laughs). Friends who like to take pictures remember to choose a front row seat or rent a two-seater bicycle.
The following is an example of NG photos.
This time, you can get on the rail bike from point A in the picture below and get off at point B. Pay attention! The pick-up and drop-off are at different locations, but since this time we are signing up Klook It was a one-day tour, so after riding the bike, the tour bus had already driven to point B to pick us up, and we did not go back, which was convenient and time-saving. If you are driving by yourself, you should study how to get back to where you originally parked your car.
