== Culture == === Gudeuljangnon Paddy field === Cheongsando has a traditional agricultural system. It has long abounded in steep terrains and stones as well as sandy soil where water drains away quickly. Short of water for paddy rice farming, the area has a rather unfavorable agricultural environment for watery field farming. 'Gudeuljangnon Paddy field' is a paddy field artificially created by reorganizing natural environment to produce more rice in such unfavorable conditions.
