Nearby

Asia Culture Center
A national arts complex built into the site of the former South Jeolla provincial office, with most of its floor area underground rather than above it. Inside and outside keep different hours — 10:00–18:00 indoors, 06:00–22:00 for the roof garden and plazas. It closes on Mondays, when the outdoor half is all there is.
Mudeungsan National Park
The national park on Gwangju's eastern edge, distinguished by the columnar rock formations near its summit. There is no gate and no fee, but trails close in bad weather — checking the closures before you set out is the one piece of preparation this mountain really requires.
Kim Daejung Convention Center
The exhibition and convention centre in the Sangmu quarter of Gwangju's Seo-gu, whose halls take fan meetings and awards shows. One of the city's metro stations is named after it.
Jeonnam Sikdang
A usam-tang house in Songjeong-dong. Its Century Shop citation describes the dish as a court preparation once served as jokpyeon, later turned into a soup.
