Geographical Facts of Gwang-ju&Korea [by Kim,Min-Woo]

#1. Geographical facts about Gwang-ju
Gwang-ju seems to be a lonely city in Korea, because it locates at side of Korean peninsuls and far from Seoul. And Highway to Seoul is not the fastest one. I think that might be one of the reason why Gwang-ju had been developing slowly.
But Gwang-ju's climate is very good! Our city is not very much influenced from the climate, cause Gwang-ju has a mountain which locates in the city. Famous mountain 'Mudeung' which means 'doesn't have big peaks', is not a high and rough mountain. So Gwangju is well known for its nice weather among other Korean cities.

#2. Geographical facts of Korea
Korea is a peninsula surrounded by three sides of sea. It makes harbors developed from the past. Mountains in east are higher than those in west.
Spring in these years is not as good as before. Because from China where the west of sandstorm blows to the northern west of our country
From the deset in China wind carries the sand and toward Korea. It sometimes affect people with the eye disease and respiratory sickness.
Our capital city, Seoul is very up in the country, not in the center of Korea, so cities in the nationwide cannot be developed equally and balanced. I think that is the big problem.
