Passing Through 10 Major Tourist Attractions Including Bangaamori Beach and Bada Hyanggi Arboretum
On September 5, the city of Ansan in Gyeonggi Province announced that it will begin a pilot operation of the "Ansan City Tour Daebudo Circular Route" starting on September 6, in connection with the Daebudo ferry service.
The Daebudo Circular Route was established to link the Ansan City Tour program with the official launch of the "Ansanho" ferry, which has been operating between Ansan Bandal Island and Daebudo since August 18.
This tour departs from the old Bangaamori Dock and passes through ten major tourist attractions in Daebudo, including Bangaamori Beach, Dongchun Circus, Grand Coteau Winery, Jong-i Art Museum, Glass Island Museum, Vera Adel Equestrian Club, Bada Hyanggi Arboretum, Daebu Mine Sedimentary Rock Formation, Tando Port, and Daebu Bada Hyanggi Theme Park, before returning to the dock.
The tour operates three times a day on weekends and public holidays, and the entire course takes about two hours. However, it will not operate during the Chuseok holiday from October 5 to 7, or on October 9, when the ferry service is closed.
Passengers wishing to board can pay the fare on-site and receive a wristband for identification. On the day of boarding, passengers are entitled to unlimited re-boarding until the end of service, even after getting off at any destination, through a one-day pass benefit.
The city plans to conduct this pilot program until November and will comprehensively evaluate user statistics, operational performance, and areas for improvement before expanding the service to the downtown area.
Lee Mingun, Mayor of Ansan, stated, "By connecting Ansan's unique ferry service with tourism resources, we aim to allow more visitors to experience the charm of Ansan," adding, "We will do our best to ensure that the Daebudo ferry route becomes a core element of our tourism city."
