Tip) Rail Bikes for BeginnersRail bikes are easy to learn – just step on the pedals for speed and use the hand brake to stop. However, there are a few things to keep in mind during your ride. Make sure to keep a distance of at least 20m between you and the rail bike in front of you. Also, refrain from standing up from your seat while the bike is running. Remember, safety comes first!

Conveniently located near Seoul, Gangchon Rail Park used to be a servicable train station but is now a rail bike tourist attraction that connects two closed station platforms, Gimyujeong Station and Gangchon Station. Follow the Gangchon railway and you will pass through colorful foliage of grassfields and forests. You will also pass through Bubble Tunnel and Musical Tunnel, and even see Bukhangang River along the way!

You will reach a rest stop after 6km and continue on your remaining journey of 2.5km by the Romantic Train. When you arrive at Gangchon station, you can either move on to the next attraction or return to Gimyujeong Station by a shuttle bus.
