Graffiti at Gangchon Station
Gangchon (or Kang Chon/강촌) is a small town on the outskirts of Chuncheon, Gangwon-do in South Korea.
The town itself has been famous for decades as the destination of university students from Seoul looking for a place to weekend. Gangchon Station was the arrival and departure location of choice. Up until 2010 trains regularly arrived here until recently when a new extension to Seoul Metro made this station obsolete, as a new station was built on the outskirts of the town.
Now the old station sits quiet and empty waiting for whatever the authorities in charge of such things have planned for it.
