Jangseong is in Jeonnam, close to Gwangju, and sits on the Honam KTX line, so a KTX from Seoul (Yongsan/Yongsan area stations) to Jangseong Station takes roughly 2 to 2.5 hours. From Jangseong Station, the festival grounds along the Hwangryonggang River are a short taxi or local bus ride away. An express bus to Jangseong or Gwangju, followed by a local transfer, is an alternative if KTX schedules don't fit.
