This city in North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, Mungyeong is known for its mountain scenery, traditional heritage, and apple production. The Mungyeong Saejae pass has become the city's main draw since the 1990s, as the local economy shifted away from coal mining toward tourism. The city's name translates roughly as "hearing good news."
