A mobile stamp tour highlighting the natural scenery and tourism resources along the Nakdong River will return this year with new themed programs.
The Nakdong River Council, made up of seven neighboring local governments — Yangsan, Gimhae, Miryang, and Busan’s Buk-gu, Sasang-gu, Gangseo-gu, and Saha-gu — began on March 3.
First launched in 2024 with six participating municipalities, the program expanded to seven regions last year when Miryang joined the initiative. Over the past two years, the event has drawn strong participation, with prize rewards often running out early as visitors traveled through the region to complete the tour.
For 2026, organizers are introducing two themed experiences designed to encourage visitors to spend more time exploring the river’s landscapes.
From March, the spring program will focus on “healing walks,” featuring 14 walking routes along riverside parks and trails. Participants can receive mobile gift certificates depending on the number of completed courses: 5,000 won for four routes, 10,000 won for nine routes, and 20,000 won for all 14 routes.
Beginning in September, the program will shift to a second theme highlighting scenic mountain trails overlooking the Nakdong River. The autumn program will include seven hiking destinations, with rewards offered for completing three, five, or all seven routes.
Participants can join the tour by downloading the “Inavi Stamp” app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and selecting the Nakdong River stamp tour from the event list. Stamps are automatically collected when participants reach designated locations using GPS. Rewards will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until supplies are exhausted.
