I've been living in Gumi for five years now. I really love it here. I grew up in the countryside and I love being close to nature. I also love the slower way of life. That's the reason why I think Gumi is the right place for me.
Gumi is known for its numerous factories. If you own a Samsung or LG gadget, there's a big possibility that those gadgets were once in Gumi. But Gumi is not only about factories, Gumi has a lot more to offer. Gumi is home to one of Korea's famous mountains, Mt. Geumo. Many Koreans who love hiking, come to Gumi to hike Mt. Geumo. Especially in fall when the foliage turns red, orange , and yellow.
On the foot of Mt. Geumo is a very beautiful reservoir. It has a walking trail made of wood around it. Many people walk on the trail. Especially in the evening. Sitting on the benches while watching the still water and the stars at night can be really relaxing.
On the other side of the city is Mt. Cheonsaeng. This mountain looks like a flat table from afar. It's a bit easier to climb than Mt. Geumo. The view from the top is also really good. On the foot of it is a hole where cool air comes out. Standing in front of the hole feels like standing in front of an open fridge.
Another interesting thing about Gumi is that two South Korean presidents came from this city. The first one was President Chung-hee Park. President Park was born in 1917 in a small village which is now known as Sangmo-dong. The house where he was born and raised is still standing and open to the public. The second Korean president that can be considered as a native of Gumi is no other than the current president of the Republic of Korea, President Geun-hye Park. Though she was born in Daegu, her place of family register is in Sangmodong, Gumi. She is the daughter of President Chung-hee Park. And the first female Korean president.
Theres a lot more to see in Gumi, such as the beautiful temples and ecological parks that look beautiful all year round, especially in spring.
I really love Gumi, its location, people, and scenery. Gumi is the place I call home in this foreign land.
나는 구미를 정말 사랑합니다.
