Boryeong
Boryeong (Korean: 보령; Korean pronunciation: [po.ɾjʌŋ]), commonly known as Daecheon, is a city in South Chungcheong Province, South Korea. Boryeong is known around Korea for its beaches, particularly Daecheon Beach, and the annual Boryeong Mud Festival around July. The city's beach-mud is widely touted for its cosmetic properties. As elsewhere along the southwest coast of the Korean peninsula, there are numerous small islands, many of which are connected by ferry to Daecheon Port.
Boryeong gained its present boundaries in 1995, with the merger of Boryeong-gun and Daecheon City. Previously, the two entities had been united under the name Boryeong County (Boryeong-gun) since the Joseon Dynasty and had been separated in 1986.
It is believed to have been Manro-guk during the Mahan Dynasty, and became Sinchon County in Baekje, and Seonseong County in Silla during the reign of King Gyeongdeok. During the Goryeo Dynasty, it was renamed Boryeong County, the name it still uses today.
Originally, there were three towns, Boryeong, Ocheon, and Nampo, but on 1 April 1914, it was merged into Boryeong-gun as part of the Japanese administrative reorganisation. In that year, the county government office was moved from Shinseong-ri (now Boryeong-ri) in Jupo-myeon to Daecheon-myeon.
The city is commonly known as either Boryeong or Daecheon. The name "Boryeong" is older.
Boryeong is on the coast of the Yellow Sea, 171 km south of Seoul.
Its administrative district includes 12 administrative divisions: Cheonbuk-myeon, Cheongso-myeon, Ocheon-myeon, Jupo-myeon, Cheongra-myeon, Jugyo-myeon, Daecheon-myeon, Seonju-myeon, Nampo-myeon, Misan-myeon, Ungcheon-eup and Jusan-myeon.
Its territory includes a large portion of sea and numerous islands, among which the largest is Wonsando; other islands are Sapsido, Nokdo, Oeyeondo, Janggodo, Godaedo, Hodo, and many islets.
