Uichang-gu
Built around a state-planned industrial complex, Changwon grew into one of South Korea’s principal manufacturing cities. The urban core in Uichang-gu is arranged around broad multi-lane boulevards and major junctions such as Dogye Square, reflecting modern planning rather than the tighter street pattern of an older port. Changwon stands in southern Gyeongsangnam-do, with Masan Bay opening toward the Korea Strait and wooded hills shaping much of its inland edge. Since 2010 it has incorporated the former cities of Masan and Jinhae, creating a large municipality of industrial districts, port areas and residential neighbourhoods. Jinhae, now part of Changwon, is known nationally for its annual Gunhangje cherry blossom festival.

Gyeongsangnam-do extends from the slopes of Jirisan to the Korea Strait, encompassing a mountainous interior, broad river plains and an island-studded southern coast. Its provincial capital, Changwon, is a major industrial city, while the shoreline leads toward the ports and ferry routes of Tongyeong and Geoje. Hallyeohaesang National Park protects a long stretch of this maritime zone, where wooded islands meet sheltered channels. Inland, Jinju is known for Jinjuseong Fortress and the 1592 defence of the city during the Japanese invasions of Korea.

South Korea stretches from the mountainous border with North Korea to Jeju Island, encompassing forested ranges, fertile river basins and a deeply indented southern coast. The Taebaek Mountains run along much of the east, while the Han River crosses Seoul before reaching the Yellow Sea. Busan faces the Korea Strait, and tidal flats and islands shape the country’s western shore. Seoul combines dense contemporary districts with royal Joseon sites, including Gyeongbokgung Palace, first built in 1395. Kimchi and bibimbap are central to everyday cuisine, while the Korean alphabet, Hangeul, was created in the 15th century.
