Kim Simin-ho Namgang River Cruise
A sightseeing cruise on the Namgang River in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do, with views toward Jinjuseong Fortress and Chokseongnu Pavilion. The original Kim Simin-ho began operating in 2022, and Jinju announced an additional electric-powered Kim Simin 2 vessel in September 2024. That announcement does not establish the 2026 fleet, schedule or fares.
