What it is like
Gunsan, a port city at the mouth of the Geum River, is one of the places Koreans associate with jjamppong, the spicy red noodle soup of Korean-Chinese restaurants. Chinese restaurants run by the local ethnic Chinese community once numbered more than 60 here, concentrated on Dongnyeong-gil and Jangmi-gil in the old port district; a little over 10 were left by 2019. The Korea Herald traces the local style to chomamyeon, a noodle dish in pork, beef and chicken bone broth that ethnic Chinese cooks made until the early 1970s, before local seafood and red pepper powder took over. With national funds won in 2018, the city turned part of Jangmi-dong into a jjamppong specialty street, which had 10 jjamppong restaurants by late 2023, including the long-established Binhaewon and Hongyeongjang.
The festival grew out of that street. A contactless online edition ran for two weeks in November 2020; the city's own guide counts the festival from 2022, and YTN called the 2025 edition the fourth. It nearly disappeared when the city council cut its entire 2024 budget, but ₩150 million was restored in June 2024, and that year it was held on the specialty street on 1–2 November. After complaints from residents it moved to Baengnyeon Plaza nearby, and in 2025 it ran 9–12 October, at the same time as the Gunsan Time Travel Festival in the same old town.
The 2026 edition ran Friday 9 to Sunday 11 October, 12:00–22:00 per KTO's data, with about 20 booths from Gunsan's traditional Chinese restaurants and collaborations with TV chefs: Mikael from JTBC's Please Take Care of My Refrigerator, and David Lee and Lee Mi-young, known from Netflix's Culinary Class Wars. Every Chinese-food booth sold jjamppong and jjajangmyeon in half portions, so you could compare meat and seafood versions. Daytime brought family games and hands-on activities, and in the evening an outdoor 'Jjamppong Restaurant' served food with live music. About 80,000 people came over the three days.
The honest caveats: this is a queueing festival. The star chefs' booths had long lines, and after 2025 the city's festival committee noted long waits, booths running out of ingredients early and uneven demand between famous and lesser-known restaurants. Dish prices and an English programme were not published, and the timing has moved between November and October, so wait for the 2027 announcement before booking. Outside the festival you can eat Gunsan jjamppong on the specialty street any time, and the colonial-era buildings of Jangmi-dong are around the corner.
Highlights
- Gunsan's spicy jjamppong sold in half portions at every Chinese-food booth (2025 and 2026), so you can compare meat and seafood versions in one visit
- About 20 booths in 2026 from Gunsan's traditional Chinese restaurants, plus collaborations with TV chefs Mikael, David Lee and Lee Mi-young
- An evening outdoor 'Jjamppong Restaurant' with live music; the 2026 festival stayed open until 22:00
- Set in Jangmi-dong, the old port district of colonial-era buildings, near the jjamppong specialty street and its 10 jjamppong restaurants (2023)
- Family games and hands-on activities, such as the 'Bubbling Wish Jjamppong Soup' and 'Beat the K-Tourism Island' programmes in 2026
- Free entry; about 80,000 visitors over three days in 2026
Who it suits. Best for food-focused travelers and anyone exploring Gunsan's old town who wants to taste several versions of the city's jjamppong in one place; it works as a long day trip from Seoul or as part of a Gunsan weekend. Less suited to people who avoid spicy food, dislike queues, or need English signage and programmes.
Getting there
From Seoul
Express bus from Seoul Express Bus Terminal (Central City, Honam line) to Gunsan Express Bus Terminal on Haemang-ro. In the Gunsan–Seoul timetable buses run all day (50 departures between 05:00 and 22:00), take 2 h 54 m and cost ₩16,400 standard, ₩23,900 deluxe or ₩31,000 premium; from the terminal take a taxi or city bus to Baengnyeon Plaza in Jangmi-dong. By rail there is no KTX to Gunsan: Saemaeul and Mugunghwa trains on the Janghang Line run from Yongsan to Gunsan Station 14–15 times a day (05:32–20:43), taking 3 h 07 m–3 h 35 m, ₩21,600 Saemaeul or ₩14,500 Mugunghwa. Gunsan Station is in Naeheung-dong, away from the old town, so continue by taxi or city bus. A faster rail option is KTX from Yongsan to Iksan (usually 1 h 17 m–1 h 25 m), then a connection to Gunsan, whose times were not checked.
From Busan
Intercity bus from Busan Central Bus Terminal (Nopo, Line 1 Nopo Station) to Gunsan Intercity Bus Terminal at 18 Haemang-ro: 7 a day (08:05–19:00), 3 h 35 m, ₩38,000 deluxe class (the only class listed). Gunsan Express Bus Terminal has no Busan route. Then take a taxi or city bus to Baengnyeon Plaza in Jangmi-dong, as above.
Last leg from Gunsan Station
Janghang Line (Korail Saemaeul/Mugunghwa from Yongsan). Not walkable: the station is in Naeheung-dong, away from the old town; take a taxi or city bus to Jangmi-dong
Festival shuttle
No festival shuttle was found for 2024–2026. A city bus stop named after the Gunsan Modern History Museum (근대역사박물관) is about a minute's walk from the museum in the old port district.
Getting home
The 2026 festival ran until 22:00. Last trains from Gunsan to Yongsan in the 17–23 Oct 2026 timetable: Saemaeul 19:25 (arrives 22:48) and Mugunghwa 20:26 (arrives 23:55). Express buses from Gunsan to Seoul Central City run until 22:00 (premium class; ₩37,200 on the 22:00 bus, a late-night fare). To stay for the evening Jjamppong Restaurant, book a room in Gunsan.
Parking
No festival parking plan was found. A May 2026 visitor guide says the Gunsan Modern History Museum's car parks fill early on weekend mornings and points to public parking at Jinpo Maritime Theme Park, by the inner harbour, at Baengnyeon Plaza and in Jangmi-dong, all described as free; during the festival the plaza itself is the venue, so come by bus or taxi.
How to switch Naver Map and Kakao Map to English
Google Maps shows train, subway and bus routes in Korea but not walking or driving directions yet, so for the walk from the station Naver Map or Kakao Map is more reliable.
Before you go
1330 · Travel hotline
The Korea Tourism Organization’s helpline answers in English, Japanese and Chinese around the clock, and in several other languages from 08:00 to 19:00. Dial 1330 from a Korean phone, or +82-2-1330 from a phone registered abroad.
112 / 119 · Emergencies
112 for police, 119 for fire and ambulance. Both are free from any phone. Police on 112 can add an English or Chinese interpreter to the call.
T-money card
Buy one at a convenience store such as GS25, CU or 7-Eleven and top it up there with cash. It pays for subways and buses in most cities, and for most taxis.
Maps
Use Naver Map or Kakao Map for walking and bus directions; Google Maps does not yet give walking directions in Korea. Both apps can be switched to English. Naver Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → Language (Japanese and Chinese also available). Kakao Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → App settings → Language. If the option is missing, change your phone’s language and reopen the app. Small shop names and some reviews stay in Korean.
Trains and buses
Book trains on Korail’s English site and express buses on Kobus. Holiday weekends sell out first.

Questions travelers ask
When is the Gunsan Jjamppong Festival?
The 2026 edition has ended: it ran 9–11 October 2026, 12:00–22:00, around Baengnyeon Plaza in Jangmi-dong. 2027 dates had not been announced as of 18 October 2026; October is likely, since the 2025 and 2026 editions both opened on 9 October.
Isn't it held in November?
It used to be. The 2020 online edition ran 7–22 November and the 2024 festival was on 1–2 November, but the 2025 edition moved to 9–12 October, alongside the Gunsan Time Travel Festival, and 2026 was 9–11 October. Check the 2027 announcement before planning.
Is the Gunsan Jjamppong Festival free?
Yes, entry is free. You pay for the food; every Chinese-food booth sold jjamppong and jjajangmyeon in half portions in 2025 and 2026, but prices were not published.
How do I get there from Seoul?
The easiest way is an express bus from Seoul Central City to Gunsan Express Bus Terminal (2 h 54 m, from ₩16,400, buses all day), then a taxi or city bus to Jangmi-dong. Trains from Yongsan to Gunsan Station take 3 h 07 m–3 h 35 m (₩14,500–₩21,600) and there is no KTX; the station is away from the old town.
What makes Gunsan jjamppong special?
Gunsan's Chinese community once ran more than 60 restaurants in the port district. The local jjamppong is traced to chomamyeon, a bone-broth noodle dish made until the early 1970s, which became a spicy soup with local seafood and red pepper powder. The city now promotes it with a specialty street in Jangmi-dong.
Can I eat Gunsan jjamppong outside festival dates?
Yes. The jjamppong specialty street in Jangmi-dong, near the festival site, had 10 jjamppong restaurants in 2023, including the long-established Binhaewon and Hongyeongjang.

What we could not confirm
- 2027 dates and timing: whether the festival stays in October (as in 2025 and 2026) or returns to November (as in 2024), and whether it will be held apart from the Gunsan Time Travel Festival as the city's festival committee suggested.
- 2026 hours (12:00–22:00) come from KTO TourAPI data shown on event-listing sites; the official site jjambbong.kr was not opened.

Whether a 2021 edition took place, and the 2022 and 2023 dates and venues, were not confirmed.
- Organizer roles: Gunsan City hosts; the Korea Herald names the Gunsan Foundation for Culture and Tourism as organizer.
- 2024 daily hours beyond the 17:30 opening on 1 November were not confirmed.
