South Chungcheong

Home to the ancient Baekje capitals in west-central Korea, combining the ruins of Gongju and Buyeo with the seaside Boryeong Mud Festival.

South Chungcheong lies in west-central Korea, facing the Yellow Sea, with mostly plains and hills and a coastline of tidal flats and peninsulas. Gongju and Buyeo were capitals of the Baekje Kingdom, and Gongsanseong Fortress, the Songsan-ri Tombs and the Jeongnimsa Temple Site in Buyeo are part of the "Baekje Historic Areas" World Heritage Site. Daecheon Beach in Boryeong is known for its summer Mud Festival, and Taean Coast National Park and Anmyeondo Island are good for seaside holidays. Spring and autumn suit the historic sites, and summer suits the beaches. KTX stops at Cheonan-Asan Station and Gongju Station, while the west coast is mostly reached by express bus or car.
