Nampyeong Station (Naju)

It began operations as a simple station in December 1930 and was promoted to an ordinary station in May 1948. The station was destroyed by fire in the Yeosu-Suncheon October 19 Incident in 1950, and was rebuilt in July 1956. It is also a historical site where fierce battles took place under the control of the People's Army during the Korean War and the January 4 Retreat. Currently, the station is closed.
Nampyeong Station is quite unusual in that the roof of the protruding part of the station office is not a gable roof, but a gable roof. The gable roof over the waiting room, the gable that intersects the longitudinal direction of the building, the roof covering the protruding space in front of the station office, and the long awning roof in front of the waiting room clearly maintain the shape of the building, so it was designated as National Registered Cultural Heritage No. 299.
Although Naju Nampyeong Station is a closed station, it is a non-stop station. The tracks currently in use are blocked by barbed wire, but the separately constructed tracks can be used freely.
At a straight line distance of about 500m, there is the Naju Nampyeong Ginkgo Tree Road and the cafe GGT POT.
