Gyeonggi-do Adventures
Located in the northwestern part of South Korea, Gyeonggi-do surrounds both Seoul and Incheon. Gyeonggi-do is known for being both the "breadbasket" and industrial area of Korea due to the fact it has more buildable space (area without mountains). Gyeonggi-do is peppered with delightful areas where residents in South Korea love to spend the weekend relaxing and healing from the strain of daily life. Gyeonggi-do, South Korea includes Pyeongtaek-si where two United States Military Bases support South Korean troops. Camp Humphreys is the largest USA army base outside of the United States and Osan Air Force Base is not far away. Both US bases sit land occupied by former Japanese military bases which were abandoned after WWII.
