The city center and railway junction was formerly called "Iri" (), but merged with Iksan County (''Iksan-gun'') in 1995. The railway junction is located at the point where Jeolla, Janghang Line and Gunsan Lines meet the Honam Line, and is served by frequent train service to/from Seoul, Daejeon, Gwangju, Mokpo, Jeonju, Suncheon, and Yeosu. Jeonbuk National University Iksan campus(Before, it was Iksan National College), Won Buddhism Graduate School, Wonkwang Health Science College, and Wonkwang University are all located in Iksan. This city is called “The city of Jewelry” and has a Jewelry museum which opened in May 2002 next to a Dinosaur museum. In late November 2006, Korean authorities quarantined a farm in Iksan and began culling poultry and livestock within 3 kilometers radius, to contain an outbreak of the H5N1 bird flu virus.〔http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/Engnews/20061126/620000000020061126120016E6.html〕 It has handed down the story of Seodong and Seonhwa which was broadcast in 2005~2006 as Sedongyo, as illustrated at the 'Paradise in Autumn Festival' Festivals with various themes are held in Iksan. Each of these festivals is themed and relates to the local history. Festivals include:- * 10,000,000 Chrysanthemum Festival (held in October/November), * Iksan Jewelry Expo, * Seodong Festival, * Stone Culture Festival ==History== Iksan was once the capital of an ancient country, Baekje Kingdom. The temples built then are still standing now. Iksan has always been an important transport center. After the "Iri train station explosion", Iksan city fell into a state of decline. However, Iksan's train station was later rebuilt and it became the junction of three rail lines, the Jeolla Line, Honam Line and Janghang Line. It now services KTX and Saemaul trains as well as frequent buses services. Today, Iksan is once again a thriving city. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Iksan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
