Cheongju — Festivals & Places Worth Going
27 places in Cheongju described in English by the Korea Tourism Organization. Every entry comes with the Korean address you can paste into a map app.
Why we give you Korean addresses
Google Maps cannot give driving or transit directions inside South Korea — map data cannot be exported. Paste the Korean address (or the Korean name) into NAVER Map or KakaoMap instead. Both work with what is on this page, and they are what people here actually use.
