Gyeongbuk meets both the sea and the land an essential factor contributing to rapid growth in
transportation and industry. Spacious land and easy access helped the city of Pohang to develop
its steel industry. The first generation industrial complex of Korea the city of Gumi is now a
symbol of Korea’s moderni ation. The city started with nothing but agriculture but within half
a century Gumi transformed into Korea’s industrial base earning its nickname silicon valley of
Korea’. Gumi is considered the nd largest city of Gyeongbuk province.
