ChungjuCity is located in the center of the Korean Peninsula.
In 1908, however, because of the difficulty to access to it, the provincial government office moved to ChungjuCity, and ChungjuCity was re-named Chungju-gun.
In 1956, as Chungju-eub was promoted to a city, Chungju-gun was divided into ChungjuCity and Jungwon-gun, followed by the merge of Jungwon-gun into ChungjuCity in January 1995.
CHUNGJU, South Korea (Yonhap) - As a white-haired grand master darts around a sound stage batting away sword thrusts with an Oriental paper fan, Han Cheol-hwan dreams of his city hosting the Martial Arts Olympics....
Good news for Chungju, but maybe not for tekkyon, which has a turbulent history of political and cultural suppression and now risks being eclipsed again.
``Chungju is the tekkyon Mecca and the purpose of this festival is to globalize the art.''
MALOLOS, BULACAN, September 3, 2003 (STAR) By James Mananghaya - The provincial government of Bulacan and the city government of Chungju in South Korea is "mapple" juice — a combination of mango and apple puree, a popular beverage in Korea.
If the project pushes through in September, after Dela Cruz’s visit in Chungju for the World Martial Arts Festival, a processing plant may be established at the Bulacan Housing and Agro-Industrial Project (BUHAI) in Norzagaray town.

A Great Public Response at a Martial Arts Festival(Site not responding. Last check: )
[Chungju]ChungjuCity in South Korea’s Chungbuk Province is famous for its splendid scenery, including the nation’s largest lake, Chungju Lake, and for its delicious apples.
As the Festival came to a close, several ChungjuCity officials visited the initiates and said the booths operated by The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association had received much attention and interest, and thus the Association was invited to participate in next year’s Festival.
In conclusion, the 2004 Chungju World Martial Arts Festival was a meaningful opportunity to share the Quan Yin Method and the benefits of vegetarianism with many residents of Chungbuk Province.
I've attempted a visit yesterday (June 27th), because the confluence seem to be near the point reachable by bus.
The actual confluence point was found to be located on the Chungju Lake, and there was no way down to the lake from the path, since it was very steep, but I could get up to 47m from the point (Picture #2).
The Chungju Dam, as seen in picture #4 and #5, was built about one and a half decades ago, and has proven to be a useful tool in controlling water resources, but it also made many towns and historical artifacts go underwater.
