Taebaek, the land of coal known as "Black Gold."
Until the late 1980s, Taebaek was a coalfield city that enjoyed a boom as the nation's largest coal production site. Why was Taebaek the country's largest coal producer among all the regions in Korea?
The reason lies deep within Taebaek. As Paleozoic land settled in Taebaek long ago, the area became a limestone region. Thanks to the vegetation that flourished there, the coal industry was able to leave a significant mark on the nation's economy.
