Jungangtap-myeon

Jungangtap-myeon lies along the Namhan River in Chungcheongbuk-do, and its riverside position connects this part of Chungju to the wider Han River basin. The township takes its name from Jungangtap, formally the Seven-story Stone Pagoda of Tappyeong-ri, a Unified Silla monument designated National Treasure No. 6. The pagoda is widely regarded as standing near the centre of the Korean Peninsula, a distinction reflected in its name, meaning “Central Pagoda.” Beyond this landmark, Jungangtap-myeon forms a quieter southern reach of Chungju, where the river corridor meets low inland terrain.
