Where is the Gangchon?
The Gangchon Resort (강촌유원지) is a small village nestled along the Bukan River in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do Province. The river is on one side of the village, while Bongwhasan Mountain and Samaksan Mountain are on the opposite side making for beautiful scenery anywhere you look.
Gangchon Train Station is conveniently located near the entrance to the recreational area. Many young Koreans enjoy taking the romantic train ride to this cozy little village and for the past ten years this spot has also become a popular place for college students to go to on weekend trips. The village area has campgrounds, a youth hostel and other lodging facilities, bicycle paths, bungee jump facilities and many other recreational areas.
 
  

The Rail Bike
The rail bike in Gangchon is a new type of leisure sport that combines biking along a railway and scenic views. Rail bikes are commonly found in the mountainous regions of Europe. The sport makes use of an abandoned railway track that runs from Gangchon station to Kim Yu Jeong station. The total track is 8.2 kilometers long and is a continuous descent that is easy to ride along clean valley waters and crimson red foliage.
There are 2-person (110 kilograms) and 4-person rail bikes (138 kilograms). Despite its large size, a rail bike runs quite smoothly so it is sufficient for one person to pedal a 4-person rail bike at speeds of 10 to 30 kilometers per hour.
Ride at a slow speed of 15kph to enjoy the surrounding scenery. On the way back, you will return to Gangchon stn on a free bus for a comfortable ride with a view.
