The Cheongju Apgak Water is a ginkgo tree located within Cheongju administrative headquarters in the old Cheongju city wall, a venerable tree with great historical value, as documented in multiple historical records including the Shin Augmented Survey of the Geography of Joseon, recording that during the 2nd year of King Gongyang's reign in Goryeo (1390), when scholars including Yi Saek were wrongfully imprisoned in Cheongju jail, a flood occurred but they escaped death by climbing the Apgak Water.
