Encompassing 15 cities and counties, the new walking trails cover a total of 860km via 60 courses that provide opportunities for the collection of stamps along the way. It took Gyeonggi-do three years to open new trails in four themed areas: Pyeonghwa Nuri-gil connecting Gimpo and Yeoncheon; Soop-gil connecting Yeoncheon and Yangpyeong; Mool-gil connecting Yeoju and Anseong; and Get-gil connecting Pyeongtaek and Gimpo. Visitors can also explore existing trails that have been integrated into the new trails, such as Pyeongtaek Seop-gil, Daebu Haesol-gil, and Bakdujin Literature-gil. Visits to various attractions associated with the trails are also recommended, such as Sinreuksa Temple, Gungpyeong Port, Dongju Salt Farm, and Siheung Lotus Theme Park.
