Review:

North Chungcheong is home to Danyang, a lake resort community surrounded by forested national parks, mountains, and caves as well as ancient temples. The town is considered the top attraction in North Chungcheong but is a new town in South Korea, established in 1986. The site was built where an old city is submerged beneath the manmade Chungju Lake. Danyang is accessible by bus from Seoul, as well as trains, boats, and planes. Most of Danyang is best explored by foot; however, there are many taxis that can take visitors to the main attractions. Gosu Cave is one of the main attractions of Danyang and is one of the most famous caves in all of Korea. The cave features limestone caverns, 1.5km of walkways, and narrow tunnels. Ondal Fortress is another great attraction, though it is a reconstruction of the original.
