The province of Gangwon-do offers visitors a unique change to experience the countryside through "ocean rail bikes." Yes bikes on tracks that follow the shoreline giving a totally unique perspective of the natural scenery in this part of Korea.

Operated by the city of Samcheok, these small wheeled carriages run on railway tracks, offering travellers the chance to enjoy both deep pine forests and the cooling breezes of the East Sea. They have already proved very popular amongst locals and overseas travellers.

The 5.4 kilometre-long ocean rail bike trail opened back in July, linking Gungchon and Yonghwa Station and has already been enjoyed by nearly 200,000 people, including 2,000 overseas tourists, who have all enjoyed riding the ocean rail bikes in the first four months of operation.
