Geography

Land area by type and usage: Overall, the northeast is high and the southwest is gentle, so the Cheongmicheon Mountain Range, which runs north to south, becomes a watershed that divides the region into east and west. To the east, Cheongmicheon flows, and to the west, Anseongcheon, Jollingcheon, and Hancheon join and flow into the West Sea. To the south, Seounsan Mountain (547m) rises, forming a boundary with Chungcheongnam-do and Chungcheongbuk-do, and large, low mountains surround the entire region like a folding screen. To the south and west, there are hills for middle-aged and elderly people, and wide plains due to the development of rivers.

Anseong has a humid continental climate (Köppen: Dwa), but can be considered a borderline humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cwa) using the isotherm.
