Jinju Fortress, the site of two pivotal sieges during the 1592–93 Imjin War, anchors this South Gyeongsang city on the Nam River in South Korea. The walkable centre has a real café and restaurant scene, and the surrounding mountain country offers multiple scenic viewpoints. The Jinju National Museum and the Nam-gang Prehistoric Site Museum add further historical depth, while Jinyang Lake is among the city's other noted landmarks.
