You can also go to Kangnam Express Bus Terminal, and then take an express bus
coming to Cheongju
(Bus fare is approximately 5,400 won for the regular bus,
and 7,000 won for the luxury bus).

¢Ã The City of Cheongju
(http://english.cjcity.net) |
 The land area
of Cheongju
City is 153.34km2 and the city has a population of approximately
700,000. It has a T-shape where the city streets stretch out at length from the
north to the south as they follow the Mushim River.
Cheongju
is a vibrant city with a colorful thousand-year history behind it.
The city is the origin of advanced printing culture as it was the first in the
world to employ a metal printing press. In fact, Cheongju
is the very place where
part of the Buddhist Sutras was first printed using a movable metal type printing
press. It was the first and earliest metallic printing press in the world, and
it came 70 years before the printing of the Gutenberg£§s Bible.
Cheongju
is an inland city in the central area of Korea located 128km southeast
of Seoul. Within a radius of 40km, cities such as Daejeon, Chonan, and others
lie adjacent to it. Entering the Cheongju
exit via the Kyungbu Expressway at
the point of 119.6km from Seoul£§s toll gate, visitors are greeted by a 5km tunnel
of lush green trees standing politely row by row along the roadside, as if welcoming
the visitors with a warm, heartfelt reception.
Passing through the tunnel of trees visitors enter Cheongju
City, a city of
education and culture. It is a city that shares a harmony between the environment
and the people. Mt. Uam warmly embraces the city and the Mushim River, which
flows through the heart of the city, wraps itself around the city£§s boundaries.
As the provincial capital of Chungbuk Province, it is not only the heart of
administrative functions but it is also the center of politics, economy, education,
and culture. Cheongju
is an environmentally stable and excellent place to live.
Along with abundant water stored in Lake Daechong and inexpensive industry
land, it has optimal conditions to meet the needs of high-tech industries. The
number of people employed within the city is greater than 700,000. As the city
is aggressively being developed, multi-subcentralization of the city is proceeding
rapidly.
¡á Climates
Being in a temperate zone, Cheongju
enjoys four distinct seasons, where the
dry and wet seasons are clearly delineated.
The breezy springtime is blessed with blossoming flowers, while the hot and
humid summers provide a fantastic atmosphere for various summer activities all
around the city. Autumn is painted with a world-famous crystal clear blue sky
and colorful foliage, while winter provides a beautiful snow-covered panoramic
view of the mountains.
Average temperatures: Cheongju
has a yearly average temperature of 11.6 degrees
Celcius, with -5 degrees Celsius in winter and 28 degrees Celsius in the summer.
