| GYEONGJU-
SOUTH KOREA INFORMATION |
|
 Gyeongju
is a city and prominent tourist destination in eastern South Korea. It
lies in the far southeastern corner of North Gyeongsang Province, on the
coast of the Sea of Japan (East Sea). Nearby cities include the industrial
centers Ulsan and Pohang. Numerous low mountains, outliers of the Taebaek
range, are scattered throughout the city.
Gyeongju was the capital
of the ancient kingdom of Silla, a fact to which it owes its present-day
prominence. The Silla kingdom arose at the turn of the 1st millennium,
and ruled most of the Korean Peninsula from the 7th to the 9th centuries.
A vast number of sites from this period remain in the city today. After
the kingdom fell, the city gradually declined in importance.
Today Gyeongju is a typical
medium-sized city, having shared in the economic, demographic, and social
trends that have shaped modern South Korea. However, amidst these trends
the city has retained a distinctive identity. In tourism, it is one of
South Korea's best-known destinations. In manufacturing, it profits from
its proximity to major industrial centers such as Ulsan. Gyeongju is connected
to nationwide rail and expressway networks, which facilitate both industrial
and tourist traffic. |

| INCHEON
- SOUTH KOREA INFORMATION |
|
| Incheon
is a metropolitan city and a major seaport on the west coast of South Korea,
near Seoul.
Human settlement at the location
goes back to the Neolithic. In modern times Incheon became important because
its location on an estuary made it a good harbor; when the port was founded
in 1883, the city, then called Chemulpo, had a population of only 4,700.
Incheon is now home to almost 2.5 million people, and is also under the
control of one of the two free economic zone authorities in Korea, aimed
at attracting foreign investment; the city aims to turn itself into a financial
and corporate hub along with the Busan-Jinhae Free Economic Zone Authority.
The city boundaries include
an area of 964.53 km², of which 21 percent is rice paddies and another
44 percent is forested.
Incheon is regarded as part
of the greater Seoul metropolitan area due to its close proximity to the
capital, and the fact that the Seoul Metropolitan Subway and the Incheon
Subway systems are linked. Incheon is, however, a major city in its own
right and is a separate jurisdiction from Seoul.
The city is home to K-League
soccer team Incheon United, and was one of the venues for the 2002 Football
World Cup. |
