Geum River
Geum River (
Geumgang (
금강;
金江) in
Korean) is a river in
South Korea. It rises in
North Chungcheong Province, flows through
South Chungcheong, and finally forms part of the border between
South Chungcheong and
North Jeolla Provinces before emptying into the
Yellow Sea.
The river's Korean name ("Gold River") is a homonym of the word for "diamond" (금강; 金剛) and should not be confused with Kŭmgang Mountain (금강산; 金剛山; "Diamond Mountain") in North Korea.
