• Distances are long: Pyeongtaek Lake and the ferry terminal are 20–40 min by taxi from the station, not a walk.
• The ferry terminal building is separate from the berth; check-in can start hours before sailing and a shuttle may run between them.
• Bus stops named for the port or passenger terminal are not always at the terminal building: confirm with the ferry company and a live bus app.
• Some bars in the Songtan zone post no prices; ask the total before you order.
• Summer humidity is high and July–August rain is heavy; carry a compact umbrella.
