Chungnam-do, home of the July mud festival, fastest growing economic region of Korea, and source of some of the country's best beaches, is a province in the west of Korea. Chungnam-do hosts 85 square miles of unspoiled beaches and counts Mount Gyeryong (845 meters) as its highest peak. Korea's futuristic new capital of Sejong City will also be located in Chungnam-do.
Highlights
Daecheon Beach
3.5 kilometers of golden sands fringed by motels, karaoke bars, seafood restaurants and populated by fun-seeking weekend city escapees.
