Cheongju, a thousand-year-old city in Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea, attracts countless tourists with its long history and rich cultural heritage. As the capital of Chungcheongbuk-do, Cheongju is only 128 km from Seoul, making it very convenient to get to. When you come to Cheongju, the first place you must visit is the Cheongju Early Printing Museum. The museum is located on the site of Heungdeoksa Temple and houses more than 2,000 items, including ancient books, printing tools, and relics excavated from the site of Heungdeoksa Temple.

In addition to the museum, Sangdangsanseong Fortress is also a place worth visiting. This ancient city is located in Sangdang-gu, Cheongju, and is one of the important historical sites in Korea. There is a hanok village in the fortress, and the unique hanok style makes you feel like you are in the long river of history. Walking on the ancient city wall, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire city of Cheongju and feel the weight and vicissitudes of history.
