North Chungcheong Province

Chungcheongbuk-do's Absolute Must-Sees

North Chungcheong Province, South Korea’s only landlocked region, is defined by the rugged Sobaek Mountains and the winding Namhangang River. This collection highlights the UNESCO-listed Beopjusa Temple, home to a massive gilded Buddha, alongside the iconic Dodamsambong Peaks in Danyang. Historical sites include the Goguryeo-era Ondalsanseong Fortress and the strategic mountain passes of Joryeong. Natural landmarks like the Sobaeksan peaks, Okgye Waterfall, and the Mancheonha Skywalk provide vantage points over the region’s river-carved valleys and limestone topography.
