South Korea Hoseo Cheongju

Cheongju has been an important provincial town since ancient times. During Hideyoshi's Invasions of Korea, Cheongju was the site of the Battle of Chongju, during which the Korean forces re-took the city from the Japanese forces in an important early victory. The opening of the Chungbuk-line in 1926 sparked regional development. In 1946, Cheongju and Cheongwon-gun were separated, and in 1949, Cheongju was upgraded to Cheongju City. Afterwards, it went through the separation of administrative dong and their transfer to Cheongwon-gun, with 2 branch offices (East and West)established in July 1989 that were upgraded to Sangdang-gu and Heungdeok-gu in January.

A large city with a long history, featuring an ancient fortress, several museums, and a vibrant studential atmosphere.

Have just arrived back in NZ after being away for one month... I cannot speak highly enough of your organisation very informative, very professional and met all expectations. Everything worked like clockwork and went without a hitch. I have already recommended your organisation to friends and relatives who need help in planning a European tour. Thanks again for your very impressive website and your attention to detail

We were very impressed with the plan that we put together. Dealing with website staff was easy. Overall I was happy that we got a good deal. I have recommended your website to a number of others so far and will be using it again myself for a future trip.
