Yeongnam, Geographic region in southeastern South Korea.

The Yeongnam region spans across North and South Gyeongsang provinces, incorporating the major metropolitan areas of Busan, Daegu, and Ulsan along the coast.

During the Three Kingdoms period, this territory formed the core of the Silla Kingdom, which unified the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century.

The Gyeongju Historic Areas within Yeongnam contain numerous ancient tombs, temples, and artifacts from the Silla dynasty, now protected as UNESCO heritage.

The region connects to other parts of South Korea through an extensive network of KTX high-speed trains, expressways, and regional transportation systems.

The Taebaek Mountains traverse the region from north to south, creating natural boundaries and influencing local weather patterns throughout Yeongnam.
