Gimcheon
A city in North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, Gimcheon sits at the intersection of major rail and road routes between Seoul and Busan, long serving as a key crossroads of the Korean peninsula — a role reflected in its official slogan, "Connected in All Directions." Flanked by mountains to the east and west and threaded by two rivers, the city was home to one of the five largest markets in the Chosun Dynasty region.
