Cheonan Three-way Intersection Park (천안삼거리공원)

Chungcheongnamdo
410, Chungjeol-ro, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do
The Cheonan Three-way Intersection Park (Cheonan Samgeori Park) used to be a three-way junction that divides into the road to Seoul in the north; Daegu, Gyeongju, and Dongnae in the southeast; and Jeonju, Gwangju, and Mokpo in the southwest. In the Joseon dynasty, the intersection served as a major division point, with travelers of different classes, from wealthy officials to humble scholars, stopping by to take a break on their way. Many legends and enjoyable folk songs, known as heungtaryeong, originated from this area. This significant junction was developed into a park by planting trees, rearranging facilities, and holding cultural events to honor the site's history and attract visitors.
