Chungju
Chungju lies along the Namhan River, with wooded hills rising around its built-up basin in North Chungcheong. This inland city is closely associated with Chungju Dam, whose reservoir forms Lake Chungju, a major body of water in central South Korea. The seven-storey stone pagoda at Tappyeong-ri, designated National Treasure No. 6, is an important monument from the Unified Silla period and is associated with the geographical centre of the Korean Peninsula. Broad avenues, commercial blocks and public institutions in the centre reflect Chungju’s role as an administrative and transport hub for the central Korean interior.

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.
