The Jikji text (full name 'Buljo Jikji Simche Yojeol") is the world's oldest metal-printed book, being printed in 1377 at Cheongju's Heungdeoksa Temple, and as such, was included on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register in 2001. In order to spread the knowledge of Jikji around the world, the city of Cheongju has dedicated great efforts over the past years to host festivals and a memorial event for the awarding ceremony. With the support of the government, the two events were combined in 2016 as a single international event, named JIKJI Korea. With the theme "Jikji, Enlightening the World," various events and exhibitions will allow visitors to learn more about the value of this great acheivement within the exciting festival atmosphere.

Chungcheongbuk-do()

Geumiseong is a mountain fortress built on the summit of Geumseongsan Mountain, which rises 430 meters above sea level. It overlooks Jeonui and Cheonan to the north and Geumgang River to the south. The architecture style of Geumiseong Fortress is a combination of the styles of the Baekje Dynasty and the early Unified Silla. Based on the relics found inside the fortress, it is thought to have been built in the Goryeo period. The robustness of the fortress takes advantage of the rugged topography, so much so that it had been known as ironclad bastion among common people. The eastern side of the fortress has considerably collapsed, but the southern part is in a relatively good condition. The western and northern walls are also in bad conditions. Some earthenware pieces were found where there once stood a watchtower. Also, some pieces of roof tiles were found where there was a fortress building in the central part of the fortress on mountain summit. The earthenware pieces are hard porcelain and soft glass wares like bowls and pots. The tile pieces mostly feature fishbone patterns in dark gray color.

Songdo Park is a four-storey building where customers can enjoy the view of the woods along the coastal road during the daytime and the fantastic nightscape of the coast at night. The first floor is a galbi restaurant specializing in unfrozen beef ribs grilled with pebbles. Grilling beef with pebbles allows the fat to naturally drain away from the meat, preventing the meat from being burned on the outside while equally grilling the inside of the meat, preserving the meat's natural taste inside. The third floor is a traditional Chinese restaurant called Junggukgwan. A chef with experience at a five-star hotel offers Chinese food that has been modified to suit the Korean palate. The meals are good enough to satisfy the taste buds of gourmet diners. The fourth floor is a hoe (raw fish) specialty restaurant.
