Oryu-dong Station (오류동역) Line 1 – Station #144

From almost anywhere in town it’s a long ride to Oryu.  The train leaves its urban tunnel, and by the time you’ve passed Sindorim many of the passengers left seem headed back to Bucheon or Incheon after forays into the capital.  The station itself has the open feel of a provincial depot, with platforms that…

Dongmyo Station (동묘앞역) Line 1 – Station #127, Line 6 – Station #636

Dongmyo Station takes its name from the nearby shrine, built to honor the Chinese general and deity Guan Yu (162-219).  Near-ubiquitous on the other side of the Yellow Sea, shrines like these are rare in Korea where, despite its long history as an on-again off-again vassal state to China, the strong Confucian tradition prevented worship…

Jegi-dong Station (제기동역) Line 1 – Station #125

My girlfriend and I got off a mid-afternoon train at Jegi-dong Station along with about 40 other people.  From a quick scan down the platform, it looked as if we were the only ones under 50.  This may not be especially surprising, given that Line 1 runs through older parts of town popular with an…

Yongsan Station (용산역) Line 1 – Station #135, Jungang Line – Station #K110

It may serve as Seoul’s secondary train depot, but say the words ‘Yongsan Station’ and the first thing anyone thinks of is the sprawling electronics and technology market occupying the neighborhood to the west, an agglomeration of shops and buildings so large, so jumbled, and so exhaustive in its offerings that anyone who is not…
