Explore Geochang: A Healing Journey in 2026
In celebration of the 2026 Geochang Visit Year, a special program offering half-price travel in Geochang will run from April 13 to August 30. However, early termination may occur if the budget is exhausted, as the first round of applications was quickly filled.
The second round of travel applications will open on May 11, so keep an eye out and stay hopeful. If you miss this round, don't be discouraged, as there will be a third opportunity.
Applications can be submitted through the official website, where you can also find more details.
The process for the half-price travel program is as follows: First, apply through the website (for non-residents, applications must be made one day before travel). Second, after your application is approved, download the app and sign up. Third, recharge your travel expenses using mobile gift certificates issued under the half-price travel policy. Lastly, after your trip, you need to validate your visits to at least two tourist spots and make purchases with the Zero Pay gift certificates, ensuring you keep your receipts.
If you follow these steps, you can receive a refund of 50% of your travel expenses, up to a maximum of 500,000 KRW. If you are planning a trip to Geochang, participation is highly encouraged.
Recently, I visited some popular partner stores as part of the half-price travel program. One standout was the Geochang Local Food Store, which has already gained a loyal customer base.
Upon entering, I was greeted by the delightful scent of freesias and chrysanthemums, grown and harvested directly from local farms. The freshness and size of the flowers were impressive, and I was surprised to find that a bouquet of freesias and chrysanthemums costs only 7,000 KRW.
Currently, Geochang is experiencing a strawberry craze, with strawberries shipped in boxes that can only be found locally. Visitors to the half-price travel program were amazed by the taste and the reasonable prices.
As spring arrives, seasonal vegetables like wild garlic shoots and acorns are also available, providing a healthy experience. The local farm's organic eggs are in high demand, especially on weekends when many visitors from nearby cities come to purchase them.
In addition to fresh produce, you can find locally processed products such as black and white noodles, cider made from Geochang apples, and various jams. These make excellent gifts when visiting Geochang.
Geochang Local Food operates a band with 7,000 members, facilitating group purchases to provide fresh and healthy agricultural and seafood products to consumers.
For those interested, you can easily join the band through the invitation link provided.
Lastly, I encourage you to check the partner stores for half-price travel vouchers to ensure an enjoyable trip to Geochang. Geochang Local Food operates year-round with only two days off during the Lunar New Year and Chuseok.
