Chungju

Tucked along the Namhan River in the inland heart of Chungcheongbuk-do, Chungju-si is a place whose character is shaped by its broad waterway and surrounding wooded hills. Chungju Lake, formed by Chungju Dam on the Namhan, lies to the east of the urban centre and has made the area a focus for watersports and recreation by the water. On the riverbank, Tangeumdae is associated with the 1592 Battle of Chungju, a major early clash during the Japanese invasions of Korea. The city is also known in South Korea for apple growing.
