Jinju is a major city among the regions in South Korea. The town is divided in two by the Nam River (Namgang), with the Jinju Fortress, the city center, most of the hotels, the spread of the residential trade and the intercity bus stop on the north bank. The train station and high-speed bus station are located on the south bank. One of the largest battlefields during the Imagine War, today a historic site and a great, well-kept and well-maintained urban park and there is a good guide to it. The view is great.

Jinju Namgang Yudeung Festival

Reviewed By baseBrisbane

We accidentally ended up in Jinju for the lantern festival when making our way back to Busan after hiking through Jirisan National Park. The stop-over was not really needed, but gave us one of the highlights of our trip. Absolutely worth going to if you are anywhere in the region at the right time of year. It was magical. We were completely unprepared for the scale of the event and the lanterns themselves - there must have been tens of thousands. It was one of those travel 'moments'... completely beyond expectations.
