Konan Plain - Konan Heiya

Japanese: 湖南平野 - こなんへいや
Konan Plain - Konan Heiya

A plain in the southwest of Korea (Republic of Korea). Located west of the Noryeong Mountain Range and in the basins of the Geum River, Mankyeong River, and Dongjin River, it is the largest plain in Korea, stretching about 50 kilometers east to west and 80 kilometers north to south. The area downstream of the Geum River in the north is extremely narrow, with most of it being in the basins of the Mankyeong River and Dongjin River. With fertile soil, a mild climate, and complete irrigation facilities, it is a major rice-growing region and Korea's number one grain-producing area. Reclamation projects are being carried out on the shores of the Yellow Sea (known as the West Sea on the Korean peninsula).

韓国(大韓民国)南西部の平野。蘆嶺(ろれい/ノリョン)山脈の西、錦江(きんこう/クムガン)、万頃江(まんけいこう)、東津江の流域にあり、東西約50キロメートル、南北約80キロメートルに達する韓国最大の平野である。北部の錦江下流に属する部分はきわめて狭く、大部分が万頃江と東津江の流域に属する。土壌が肥沃(ひよく)で気候が温和なうえ、灌漑(かんがい)施設が完備されているので、主要な米作地帯として韓国第一の穀倉地帯となっている。黄海(朝鮮半島では西海とよぶ)岸では干拓事業が行われている。
