Geography
Ilsan New Town vaguely comes to mind, but in reality, the eastern boundary is Bukhansan, not Ilsan New Town, the western boundary is the Han River, and the city's area is 286.1 km2. Bukhansan protrudes to the east, and the eastern end of the border with Seoul is actually a hilly area connecting Mt. Aengbong and Mt. Bongsan. Across the Han River to the west is the city of Gimpo. At the time of the expansion of Seoul, the eastern area was given to Seoul, but Bukhansan was guided, so the administrative divisions vaguely resemble a kitchen knife. Bukhansan Mountain is clearly visible from the vicinity of Jichuk, and it can be roughly estimated the weather on that day by how visible it is. Climate Goyang has a monsoon-influenced humid continental climate (Köppen: Dwa) with cold, dry winters and hot, rainy summers. {{Weather box {{cite web == Sports ==
