Nonsan

Overview

Nonsan is a city in Chungcheongnam-do.

The city consists of villages that have grown together and some outlying towns. The character is a mix of rural mentality and city-neighborhood stores, with high-rise complexes scattered among and between, and a modicum of urban amenities. There are a few old houses in traditional style - mostly in disrepair. The population is about 140,000. There is a mid-sized university (Kongyang), but it only puts a stamp on the campus-town that has sprung up across from the main entrance.
