Airport Express Train Discount Period Extended

The AREX Express Train fare discount, which was initially scheduled to end in December 2012, has been extended for one more year.

The discount period extension comes as a response to the rising demand for the non-stop train service. During the discount period, one-way adult fare for the AREX Express Train is 8,000 won, instead of 13,800 won. Moreover, passengers can ride the AREX Express Train and Korea Train Express (KTX) together for an even lower fare: 6,900 won.

http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=1061818
http://www.bukak.or.kr/etc/english/index.asp

Direction :
Because it is located close to the presidental palace, security is high and you must carry your passport with you. You can only enter from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. and must finish your hike before 5 p.m.

However, if you want to view the fortress wall at night or don't want to worry about carrying a passport, you can access the wall from Dongdaemun Gate (you can see spectacular night views from this route). Take the subway to Dongdaemun Station (Line 1), Exit 1. Make a U-turn upon leaving the station and walk in the direction of Dongdaemun Gate. Just before you reach the large intersection in front of the gate, turn right into a park and walk uphill. Soon you will be walking next to the fortress wall, and
can walk next to it for several kilometers.

37) Central Inland Region Tour Train

Photo Credit: KORAIL (Korea Railway)

The Central Inland Region Tour Train will begin operation starting April 12, and will give passengers an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountain areas of Chungcheongbuk-do, Gangwon-do, and Gyeongsangbuk-do.

The Central Inland Region Tour Train will have two different courses. The O-train will run along a circular track, and the V-train will run through scenic valleys. The O-train will depart Seoul on a 257.2km course through Jecheon in Chungcheongbuk-do, Taebaek in Gangwon-do, Yeongju in Gyeongsangbuk-do, and back through Jecheon before returning to Seoul. The O-train runs four times a day, carrying up to 205 people in four cars including a car for couples and a car for families. The train also has an observation car with a café in it. The V-train runs on a 27.7km track connecting Buncheon in Gyeongsangbuk-do and Cheolam in Gwangwon-do. It has 3 cars that can accommodate up to 158 people, a café, and a section with specially designed seats for enjoying scenery.

The train tickets are in the same price range as the Saemaeul Line (top tier trains) and ticket purchase is available online or on-site. The opening ceremony for the train service and the trial runs have already been completed.

Some info on these trains :

" In order to access the V-train, visitors are recommended to first take the O-train, which connects Seoul and Jecheon, and then loops around Jecheon, Yeongju and Taebaek.

Trains depart from Seoul Station at 7:45 a.m. every morning, arriving at the transferring Jecheon Station at 9:55 a.m.

From there, passengers may flag specific stations and routes to reach the valley area and the V-train."

sumber : http://www.eturbonews.com/34466/korea-introduces-tourist-trains-explore-mountainous-and-rural-ar

The O-train is a shuttle train that loops around the inland running through Gangwon-do (Gangwon Province), Gyeongsangbuk-do (North Gyeongsang Province), and Chungcheongbuk-do (North Chungcheong Province). The V-train, which connects to the O-train at Cheoram, Seungbu and Buncheon stations, travels 27.7 kilometers back and forth between Buncheon and Cheoram stations.

For the O-train and V-train, a two-day tour is most recommended because it would be very tight if someone tries to do it all in one day. It would take one full day to take the O-train and transfer to the V-train and then back to the O-train and then transfer to another train to return to Seoul.

Take bus 35-1 or a taxi to MBC Dramia.

Detail direction : http://asiaenglish.visitkorea.or.kr/ena/SI/SI_EN_3_6.jsp?cid=1551569

From Nambu Bus Terminal Station (Subway Line 3), take Exit 5 to reach Seoul Nambu Terminal. There are fast food and snack restaurants in the area, so you may want to grab a meal before departure.
Purchase a bus ticket at the ticket counter (some buses also accept T-Money cards) and get on the bus at the Bus Stop 18. There is no assigned seating.
The time table is available at the Seoul Nambu Terminal website (in Korean only).
Hours : 6:10 – 21:00 /Interval: about 20 min / Fare: 4,200 won

The bus ride to Baegam Terminal takes about 50 minutes. The bus will stop at Yangji and Jwajeon before arriving at Baegam. A recorded announcement will be played on the bus, but if it is hard to understand, inform the bus driver in advance that you want to get off at Baegam Terminal.
At the terminal, cross the street and take a taxi to Yongin MBC Dramia. It takes about ten minutes by taxi and costs about 8,000 won. After passing rice fields and stables, you will soon see Yongin MBC Dramia.
※ In front of Hanaro Pharmacy next to the taxi stop, you can also take Bus 10-1. It departs at 09:25, 13:30, and 17:40, but we recommend that you take a taxi to Yongin MBC Dramia instead.

After enjoying a time trip to the Three Kingdoms (Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla), Goryeo Dynasty, and Joseon Dynasty, it is time to return to reality. There are no taxis near Dramia, so you have to get a call taxi. Go to the ticket counter and ask for a call taxi, and they will make the call for you. (Call taxi: 031-334-3000 or 031-334-9100)
After making the call, the taxi will arrive in about ten minutes. The fare is about 9,000 won (1,000 won additional charge for call taxi service + 8,000 won for the trip = 9,000 won

To return to Seoul, you will take a bus at the same bus terminal you arrived at. First, purchase a ticket before getting on the bus. There is no timetable, but there is a bus every 20 to 25 minutes. (No announcement is made upon the bus’s arrival. When a big bus comes in, show the driver your bus ticket to make sure you are on the right bus.) The bus ride back to Seoul takes about 50 minutes

How to book Jeju Air ticket from Gimpo to Jeju (credit goes to forumer chimei)

To get back to the same spot from the village, get off a bus in front of TOUS LES JOURS.
* If you don't know where to get off, say to a bus driver "자갈치역(Jagalchi station)"

2) Toseong Station (one past Jagalchi) and exited through Exit 6. After exiting, we take first right up the hill, past the Pusan National University Hospital
and climbed for about 2-3 minutes until you reach a bus stop by the hospital entrance.
Take bus #2 (one of the small ones with 12 seats inside) up the hill to the very top and
exited to the left side of the street.
It is very obvious where the entrance to the village is since there is a sudden abundance of
colourful statues and murals on the buildings.
Apparently bus #2-2 goes the same way as well.
Bear in mind that the bus will take you to the top of the village,
if that's any indication of when you should stop.
