Let read the history of Gimje!

Gimje Horizon Festival, held from late September to early October every year since 1999, 
takes place at Byeokgolje Reservoir, which is the heart of the Honam rice bowl. 
The festival aims to show the importance of Korea’s farming culture, which is a foundation 
of the nation, with the theme of sky and land meeting at the horizon. The festival also aims 
to promote the regional image and economy. Many dynamic and active programs are available for festival-goers to participate in before the golden horizon. 





Byeokgolje, the largest irrigation facility in the world, built 1,700 years ago during Baekje (King Biryu, 330), is embraced by the city of Gimje. Thanks to Byeokgolje, the area of Gimje
is the birth place of Korea’s rice farming and agricultural culture. During the Baekje period
it was called ‘Byeokgolgun’ (a village of rice) which came from the fact that this area was 
the first area to start rice farming.

Located in South Chungcheong Province, South Korea.





Let read the history of Buyeo!


Link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyeo_kingdom

Buyeo or Puyŏ (Korean: 부여; Hanja: 夫餘 Korean pronunciation: [pujʌ]) was an ancient kingdom located in parts of southern Manchuria and northern Korea, from around the 2nd century BC to 494. Its remnants were absorbed by the neighboring kingdom of Goguryeo in 494. Both Goguryeo and Baekje, two of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, considered themselves its successor nation.[1]

Buyeo-eup, the county's capital,
 was the site of the capital of Baekje from 538-660 AD, 
during which it was called Sabi Fortress.

"Buyeo" may also refer to a Baekje surname or Buyeo County in South Korea.
