      • By train

        There is one direct Mugunghwa train per day from [wiki=fd38499c5c04df42d1d78807aa4b7d7d]Seoul[/wiki], which takes the better part of three hours to putter its way in. Other options are to take the Gyeongbu Line to [wiki=b2adb3e3f737f0961e131ed08ac80c87]Jochiwon[/wiki] and transfer there, or even taking the KTX to [wiki=4cde8b5042fb04b6b2741f7f15d10d58]Daejeon[/wiki] and continuing from there.

      • By bus

        Chungju's sparkling new bus station is located on the northern side of town in a big complex also housing a Lotte Mart hypermarket. There are hourly departures to [wiki=a6c06a6d64d19c9a5e743a19347530d2]Danyang[/wiki] (1:30, W6200).

      • By boat

        In season, you can take a very scenic cruise across Chungju Lake to [wiki=a6c06a6d64d19c9a5e743a19347530d2]Danyang[/wiki] (2 hours, W18000), and you can go for a sightseeting spin on the lake throughout the year (unless the lake freezes over entirely in winter). The ferry terminal is served by bus 301 (30 minutes, W950), which leaves across the street from the bus terminal, but inquire at the tourist information office for schedules (and whether the boats are running) as there are only 9 buses a day.

    • filter_dramaGet around
      The easiest way to get around Chungju is certainly by cab. They are frequent and inexpensive. Try to have small change as taxi drivers occasionally get annoyed by large bills. The base fare is \2200 during the day and \2640 after midnight and fortunately, due to the close proximity of most things, one rarely surpasses this fee.
      There is a bus system, however this can be confusing to those who are unfamiliar with the language.

      Wakeboarding If you drive into Chungju, take the fist left after the bus terminal intersection, heading south towards the river. You will go under the railway, then see a park on your left.
