Heungdeoksa Temple Site, Cheongju

A temple site in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, where the Jikji — the world's oldest surviving book printed with movable metal type — was printed. Jikji predates Gutenberg's movable type and holds tremendous significance in the history of print culture. After it was established that Jikji was printed here, the value of this temple site was newly illuminated. Together with the Cheongju Early Printing Museum nearby, it conveys the pride of Korean printing culture.
