Namyangju Walking Trek Course 3 Along with Bike Road from the Guksu Station to the Yangpyeong Station in the Gyeonguei Jungang Train Line in Namyangju City in the Gyeonggi Province in Korea

 1.     Preface

The Namyangju Walking Trek Course along with Bike Road was renovated with old abandoned narrow gauge rail course and opened in 2011 as a nice Walking Trek Course exclusive for the bike and person. This Course is linked with Dasan Walking Trek Course from Paldang Station to Woongilsan Station in Gyeonguei Jungang Train Line. Therefore I rearranged the Dasan Course to the Namyangju Walking Trek Course 1 as see at the Namyangju Walking Trek Course Table attached below. In this regards, total Namyangju Walking Trek Course turned eventually out as 44 Km and 13 walking hours including 3 hours break.

 3.     Historic and Background Information

There are several places or spot where some cultural and historic background and which you may feel interest or useful for your better understanding. Please refer followings to brief explanation.

3-1) Yangpyeong City and Yanggeun Hyun Town  

Yanggeun means “Root of Willow” and Yangpyeong means “Good Balanced Willow between North Hangang River and South Hangang River” which would be a fundamental role people put its area name as Yangpyeong. Yangpyeong Area was seriously changed its name for four times different Dynasty Period as Yanggeun Hyun Town in Goguryeo Period, Binyang Hyun Town at the King Gyeongdeok in Silla Dynasty and returned to the Yanggeun Hyun Town in Goryeo Empire Period as an original name. Yanggeun Hyun Town was upgraded to Yangpyeong City at the King Sunjeong in Joseon Dynasty in 1908 as a matter of merging with neighboring Jipyeong Hyun Town. There was Jisan Mountain at the Jipyeong Town where well- known for the production of whetstone. Jipyeong Town was originated in relation with this mountain name. There is a very famous Yeongmunsa Temple at Sincheongri Village in Yangpyeong City which was built at the King Sindeok in Shilla Dynasty in 913 which was once used for the Loyal Army Base in 1907 at the Japanese ruling period and burnt out by them. This temple was later rebuilding in 1909 which has been maintaining till now. There is one more famous quit old gingko tree at the Yeongmunsa Temple which would guessingly be 1,100 years old         

.3-2) Asin Station

Asin Station was newly created between two area names, the one is Aho Village and the other Sindae Village in relation with the Administration Reorganization in 1914. There was old Asin Station positioning at right of present Asin Station which was removed due to double track works in 2009 and which we could now see its area at the small park near to the present station.    

            3-3) Yangju Area  

            Yangju was originally calling as Hanyang Geun District which was changed to the Yangju (same             as present name) at the King Taejo in Goryeo Dynasty. This area was an always important                     military base where Baekje and Shilla Dynasty were continuously fighting each other. They                     called this area as Maeseong Gun or Maheul  which was later changed to Naeso Gun, Sangju,                 Haju, Sapleangju and finally returned to the Yangju name at the King Gyeongeok in Shilla                     Dynasty.
