[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Gangneung City, Gangwon Province announced on the 28th that "for the purpose of fostering a tourism hub city project, from August 1st, the Gangneung City Sea Tea Bus will operate from Anmok Coffee Street to Jumunjin Beach (one-way 23 km)."
The main tourist spots along City Bus Route 1 include Anmok Coffee Street, St. John's Hotel, Gyeongpo Beach, the Goblin filming location, and Jumunjin Beach, with 16 round trips per day. The fare is the same as the existing city bus.

A city official stated, "We will improve accessibility to tourist attractions through the City Bus route and enhance the route to meet tourists' demands by adjusting dispatch times and adding new routes."
