LOCATION - Chungbuk
This mountainous, land-locked region has a small population of only one million. Because of its mountainous location, many cities in Chungbuk receive more precipitation in the form of rain and snow than other areas of Korea. Even though the climate is relatively reflective of the rest of the country, some of the coastal cities experience more mild temperatures in the winter.
Chungbuk has the one of the oldest temples in Korea, known as Beopjusa, that can be found in Sobaek National Park. Nearby this famous temple is the 1.058 meter tall Mt. Songni, a popular tourist spot due to the spectacular views of the surrounding valleys of Hwayang, Seonyudon and Ssanggok. Due to the mountainous nature of the region, skiing is a very popular sport in the winter. Golf courses have also been constructed to take advantage of the breath-taking scenery that the mountains provide.
