Introducing Cheongju
Cheongju is the provincial capital and an education centre, but is easily confused with Chungju and Jeonju. It’s the gateway to the presidential villa (Cheongnamdae) and Songnisan National Park. The city boasts some historical sites that include an easy-to-reach mountain fortress, as well as a popular pedestrianised shopping precinct and the lively Chungdae Jungmun student district.
