- The following are geographical features of Miryang. First, the Gyeongbu train line intersects the center of the city, with a bullet train stop and Gyeongjeon Line, connecting the provinces of Gyeongsangnam-do and Jeollabuk-do, branching out. In addition, Sindaegu-Busan Expressway and Routes 24 and 25 connect nearby cities such as Busan, Daegu, Ulsan, Changwon, and Changnyeong with downtown Miryang, making the city a center of local transportation. This advantageous location also meant that Miryang has been a local trade center since the early modern times. Second, the branches from Hwaaksan and Gajisan Mountains are located to the northeast of the city, giving it a rough terrain. However, the southern part of the city is connected to the estuaries of Nakdonggang and Miryanggang Rivers, with fertile farmlands. This means that Miryang boasts a higher agricultural production compared to other regions. Third, the city has a rich source of soft water, which helped develop its textile industry. The abundance of resort spots along the Namcheongang River also gives the city a good condition for developing commerce and industry. Fourth, many mountains and valleys give the city natural sources of clean water. The valley streams also connect to Miryanggang and Nakdonggang Rivers, creating good environments for freshwater fish and the fishing industry.
