Wonju, Metropolitan center in Gangwon Province, South Korea
The city stretches across a basin formed by the Taebaek Mountains, with the South Han River flowing through its administrative boundaries.
Wonju played a central role during the Korean War, becoming the location of three major battles and later developing into a military base.
The city maintains a traditional craft heritage through its production of lacquerware decorated with mother-of-pearl inlay patterns and designs.
Three universities, including Yonsei, Sangji, and Halla, provide higher education opportunities to students from across South Korea and international locations.
The city functions as a processing hub for forest products and manufactures medical equipment, while surrounding farms produce peaches and mushrooms.
