The Inland Threshold
A mountain-edged inland city that helps Route 1 turn away from the default corridor and prepare for deeper country.
Jecheon belongs on the route as a threshold city. Its value is not only scenery, but the feeling that the trip is leaving the capital corridor and entering a more interior Korea shaped by lakes, mountain approaches, and slower movement.
