Jungangtap Historic Park중앙탑공원

At a glance

The park is built around the Seven-story Stone Pagoda in Tappyeong-ri, a National Treasure from the Unified Silla period that KTO calls the largest stone pagoda of its time. Its nickname, Jungangtap ('central pagoda'), comes from the belief that it stands at the center of the Korean peninsula. Around it spread wide lawns with outdoor sculptures, the Chungju Museum and a liquor museum, while Tangeumho, a lake formed by a dam on the Namhangang River, is used for water sports in summer.
