The Charyeong Mountains run through the southeast, and the Wonju River, a tributary of the Namhan River, flows through the city, forming a basin. As an inland basin, the city experiences a large annual temperature range (average temperature: maximum 17.3°C, minimum -5.5°C).

韓国(大韓民国)、江原道(こうげんどう/カンウォンド)南部の内陸に位置する都市。面積867.77平方キロメートル、人口26万7849(2000)。南東部に車嶺(しゃれい/チャリョン)山脈が走り、南漢江(なんかんこう/ナムハンガン)の支流である原州川が流れ、盆地を形成した。内陸盆地のため気温の年較差が大きい(平均気温、最高17.3℃、最低-5.5℃)。米、麦、蔬菜(そさい)、果実類の生産が多く、牧牛も盛んである。工業は絹織物、葛布(くずふ)の壁紙など軽工業が発達しており、中央線鉄道とともに水原(すいげん/スウォン)―江陵(こうりょう/カンヌン)間高速国道が開通したため交通の要地となっている。 [森 聖雨] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
