About
Gyeongam-dong Railway Village is a retro-themed attraction built around a 2.5-kilometer railway in Gyeongam-dong, Gunsan, originally constructed in 1944 during the Japanese occupation to transport paper materials. A residential area gradually formed along the tracks and was fully developed by the 1970s. Although trains no longer run, the railway has been preserved as a cultural tourism site.
Today, the village recreates the atmosphere of the 1970s and 1980s. Old houses and shops line the tracks, and vendors sell nostalgic Korean snacks such as dalgona candy. Visitors can also rent vintage-style school uniforms for photos, making it a popular destination for those seeking a retro Korean experience.
