Located in eastern South Korea, Gyeongsangbuk-do (or simply Gyeongbuk) is the largest province in South Korea, covering an area of 19,029 km2, with a 335 km long coastline and beautiful natural landscapes featuring hundreds of famous landmarks and specialties.
Gyeongbuk Province proudly preserves many Korean cultural traditions and Confucianism. It's also home to famous landmarks, centuries-old villages with unique traditional festivals, and Gyeongju City – the capital of the thousand-year-old Silla dynasty, known as an "open-air museum" – where you can admire many UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the Buddha Kingdom Temple, Seokguram Cave, the East Palace, and the Moon Garden. Andong City, located in the north of Gyeongbuk, is famous for Hahoe Village – a UNESCO World Heritage site – along with its traditional mask dance and fire-burning on a rope. Furthermore, Andong boasts a distinctive culinary scene, including steamed chicken sold at 30 shops in the traditional Andong market, mammoth-shaped cakes with soft, fragrant cream cheese, and over 100 famous specialties such as apples, pears, mulberries, and ginseng. When visiting Mungyeong City, tourists can immerse themselves in nature, letting the beautiful scenery fill their eyes through outdoor activities such as cycling on railway tracks, zip-lining, and more.
Through this workshop and cooperation agreement signing ceremony, KTO in Vietnam and the Gyeongbuk Provincial Tourism Bureau hope to provide useful tourism information and open up many prospects for developing tourism products to Gyeongbuk province in particular and to South Korea in general.
