Another small but beautiful city in North Gyeongsan province Korea, Mungyeong which is only 1 hour away from Andong city.
We came here for the 3rd destination of 2016 Wow Korea Supporters 2nd Trip.
Gurang-ri Rail Bike (구랑리 철로자전거)
Rail bike is one of the most favourite tourist attraction in Korea, as well as what we can visit in Mungyeong. This time, we took the rail bike from Gurang-ri Station.
Beside the Gurang-ri Station, there are some other alternative stations where you can take the rail bike with many choice of courses such as Gaeun Station, Mungyeong Station , and Buljeong Station.
The price is also cheaper than the ones n Gapyeong or Gangcheon, only 25,000 for one rail bike which can take until 4 people.
