Cheongdo Wine Tunnel

Originally this was the Gyeongbu Railway Line that operated from 1905 until 1937 when the Namseonghyeon Tunnel opened. The railway sits on a mountainside slope which would’ve made it difficult for locomotives to move smoothly. Decades later it was used to ship various war supplies during the Korean War, and was a national highway until the 1960’s.

In March 2006, it officially opened as the Cheongdo Wine Tunnel. The temperature inside is the perfect range for persimmon wine to ripen. Inside are souvenirs, a wine-tasting experience, and exhibitions that make for a legit tourist attraction. Plus, you’ll definitely be cooled down after the lengthy walk that leads to here. Let’s head inside!!
