Cover of Yongin, a City Guide

Real pages, straight out of the PDF.

The cover and 2 real pages, straight out of the PDF at full sharpness. The rest stays inside the book.

A city explained, not listed.

The city most people only pass through on the way south, and what is in it besides the theme park — where half the name came from, the five-day market and its sundae, and what there is to see. Including an honest chapter on the dessert it does not have.

Every figure was read at an official source. Dates, addresses and travel details carry a mark that points to a numbered entry at the back of the book, with the page we read it on. Where we could not confirm a figure, the book leaves it out rather than guessing.

Every photograph is openly licensed. No image in this book is one we cannot legally print, and the credits are printed with it — including the fact that we cropped to fit the page.

The Korean edition is in the same file. Same book, in Korean, after the edition you bought. When a name matters more than the explanation, you can show the page instead of reading it out.

What is inside

5 chapters, 35 pages, ending with how to get there and how to move around once you have arrived.

01
Half the name came from Cheoin
The name Yongin was made by joining the names of two counties. One of them is the "Cheoin (처인)" that turned the Mongol army back.
02
What people eat — sundae (순대) and the five-day market
One food in Yongin has a name of its own: baegam-sundae (백암순대). And that sundae is attached to the five-day market.
03
There is no signature dessert
Start with what is missing. Yongin has no sweet or bread that stands for the city. It has a lot of cafés instead.
04
Getting there and getting around
It is close to Seoul. Moving around inside Yongin, though, is worth reading up on first. The city is wide, and its east and west are different in character.
05
What there is to see
The most visited place in Yongin is the theme park. Yet its name is not among the eight views the city picked itself.

Questions

No. This book explains the city — how it came to look the way it does, what is in which part of it, and what people eat there. It does not tell you which day to do what. If you want the days built around your own dates, that is the itinerary service.

Most of it will not — a wall, a harbour and a thousand years of history do not move. A handful of entries carry opening hours, and those are the ones to check before you set out; the book prints the official page it was read from so you can check it yourself.

Because place names and dishes are worth showing rather than pronouncing. The Korean edition is the same book, so the page you need is in the same place — hand over the phone and point.
