As part of the K-Tourism Island project, Gunsan City aims to attract tourists from the metropolitan area by developing stay-type tourism products utilizing the tourism resources of the Gogunsan Archipelago.
Gunsan City, Jeollabuk-do, announced on the 10th that it will operate a 2-day and 1-night stay travel product on the 'K-Tourism Island' Gogunsanseomgil from the 26th to November 30th.
This product is a stay-type tourism product that combines lodging for each island with trekking along the Gogunsan Island Road, which connects five islands from Maldo to Bonongdo to Myeongdo to Gwangdae to Bangchukdo.
It will be held over a total of 10 sessions with a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 27 people per session, and participants will select one of Gwanghwamun Station, Jamsil Station, and Dongcheon Station and depart by bus.
On the first day, while viewing the coastal scenery of the Gogunsan Archipelago, trek the course leading to Daebong Observatory, Mongdol Beach, and Seonyudo Beach, then move to Maldo, Myeongdo, and Bangchukdo Island and stay there.
The next day, the plan is to complete the Gogunsan Island Road, tour modern cultural streets such as Gunsan Iseongdang and Chowon Photo Studio, and then return to Seoul.
Meals using local ingredients such as grilled bakdak, seasoned cockles, and maeuntang (spicy fish stew) are also provided.
The price of the product is 329,000 won per person, but with a subsidy of 50,000 won from the city, it can be used for 279,000 won.
