information about Kyeryong mountain (san means mountain) and it's associated National Park
the official site for the city we work in. Until recently the carious parts that make up Kyeryong were parts of Nonsan so some of Kyeryong appears in this map! For example: Dugye station and Duma Myeon are actually parts of Kyeryong. Omsa Ri (where we live) is in Duma Myeon.
a map of the province showing Kyeryong Si and Nonsan Si as well as the position of the province on the peninsula.

a map of the South Korea showing the provinces and main cities. You can track our location by finding Daejeon which we are very close to. Nam means south (and do means province) so Chungchongnam-do here appears as South Chungcheong.
