Goyang City offers free tours for foreigners

The city of Goyang, located in Gyeonggi Province, is offering free tours to the city for people of foreign nationalities ― diplomats and their families, professors, teachers, students and anyone who likes to travel ― on Dec. 16, 19 and 27.

With the purpose of gathering ideas for suitable tour programs, the city has prepared three types of tours for each day.

The first program will start at Hosu Park, leading to the Hallyu Promotional Hall, a luxurious lunch at the Central and South American Cultural Center and the Oulimnuri concert hall where tourists will watch the Korean adaptation of musical “Grease.”

The second tour is designed to introduce visitors to Mount Bukhan. Starting off at the information center, tourists will be led to the Wonhyo Peak, Wonhyo Rock and Deogam Temple.

Tour No. 3 is designed for female visitors with stops made at the Hallyu Promotional Hall, La Festa and Western Dorm shopping centers, and skin care and teeth scaling centers. For more information, call (031) 8075-3403.
