Kongju (do not confuse with Kyeongju or Gwangju), is a nice, quiet historical center in west-central Korea. It dates back to the Baekje Kingdom, about 1500 years ago.
Its a relatively small area and if you have your own transportation you can visit nearly everything in a long day.
The Songsanri Burial mounds are a historically important monument. But many foreigners may find them a bit dull if you've seen similar mounds before.
Otherwise, the Donghaksa temple and Gongsanseong Fortress are definitely worth a visit! |
