Deungnyang Station Memory Street

Deungnyang Station Memory Street, which recreates the appearance of a town from the 1970s and 1980s, began to be developed in 2011 as part of the Train Station Culture Design Project promoted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. It started operations in 1930 with the opening of the Gyeongjeon Line. The Gyeongjeon Line is a cross-country train on the southern coast of South Korea that connects Samnangjin Station in Miryang, Gyeongsangnam-do, to Songjeong Station in Gwangju. At the time of its opening, it transported freight, but due to population decline and industrial development, its role gradually weakened, and now it handles passenger transport and shunting of trains between Deungnyang and Boseong Stations. Shunting refers to operations such as separating, coupling, and changing tracks of vehicles. Currently, Deungnyang Station is closed, but it features retro item displays and a photo zone where visitors can experience wearing railway worker uniforms. It also includes a barbershop that has been in business for over half a century, Haengun Dabang (a tea room) opened in 1977, an old mill, and a street from the 1970s and 1980s with Deungnyang Elementary School, a comic book store, and an arcade, providing new inspiration for older generations, younger people, and children. Address: 28 Yeokjeon-gil, Deungnyang-myeon, Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do
