Gimje (Korean: 김제; Korean pronunciation: [kim.dʑe]) is a city in North Jeolla Province, South Korea.
Gimje is the only place in Korea where the horizon is visible. Therefore, there is also a global festival called the Horizon Festival.
The Jeollabuk-do region is a granary area in Honam, and is full of natural ingredients such as high-quality rice from the wide plains and various vegetables and seafood from good soil. Since ancient times, ancestors in the Gimje area have used it to enjoy the taste and style, and have produced many delicious local foods that suit their tastes.

Both train stations and bus terminals exist. Since it is a countryside, the interval between city buses is very long. This should be noted. I recommend a private car rather than public transportation.
The area is traditionally one of the most fertile farming areas on the Korean peninsula.
Gimje's Chinese character, 金堤, means gold fields. There is two theories about the origin of the character. First, in autumn its rice paddies take on a gold color, so that called. Second, a lot of gold was found in Gimje during the Japanese colonial era.
