Goseong County

城市概覽

History Gyeongnam's Goseong is named after 'a hard castle made of iron'. Since iron is stronger than stone in terms of hardness, the so-called impregnable fortress is also compared to iron fortification. Since the original name of Goseong was also called Cheolseong, it is a hard iron castle equivalent to Cheolongseong. In the poem, Yi Cheom said, 'Goeul's castle has been newly built with iron gates, and the drumbeat on top of it is round. When I checked the people, it reached the old level, and the end of the war is in March, so spring change is unfolded.' This is an expression of the solidity of the fortress made of iron gates and a fortress that encourages military activities. Therefore, the name of the land of Goseong, which is continuously used from King Gyeongdeok to today, has the same context as steel in terms of solidity.

Climate

It represents a warm and rainy oceanic climate on the southern coast, with an average temperature of 2.0℃ in January, 26.5℃ in August, and an annual average temperature of 14.5℃, with a small annual difference. The average annual precipitation is 1,334mm, which is generally large. Therefore, orchid plants such as camellia trees and Sancho trees are growing in the coastal area.

A famous point Goseong-gun is famous as a tourist destination related to dinosaurs. Until the early 1990s, it was a place where there were no symbols to put forward. However, since the discovery of dinosaur footprints due to an academic survey in 1982, the name Goseong has become known as it has attracted domestic and international attention. Among them, Sangjokam County Park was a swamp of lakes 150 million years ago, and more than 2,000 of the world's largest dinosaur footprints have been found, making it one of the world's top three dinosaur sites along with Colorado in the U.S. and the western coast of Argentina. In addition, the Dinosaur Expo is held, and the dinosaur footprint of the Mesozoic Era is a major tourist item. It is said to be quite h
