Gwangju

Gwangju is a city where art and modern history flow together. Exhibitions and performances continue centered around the National Asia Culture Center, and Yanglim-dong Modern History and Culture Village retains old missionary houses and alleyways. Mudeungsan Mountain, visible from anywhere in the city, is a hiking destination for all four seasons, with nature very close to the urban landscape. It is also the center of Namdo food culture.
