Gwangju Metropolitan City is the sixth largest city in South Korea. Gwangju is a designated metropolitan city under the direct control of the central government's Home Minister. The city was also the capital of South Jeolla Province until the provincial office moved to the southern village of Namak, Muan in 2005. Its geographical location is 3510'N 12655'E.
Travellers coming to Gwangju can experience a slower paced experience than Seoul, whilst still getting the (hurry hurry) lifestyle of Korea. It's also a good hub for touring the surrounding province of .
- Mudeung Mountain , to the south east of the city. It is a common occurrence to see photos of Mudeung in many stores or restaurants; if you see a snowy scene with jagged rocks that look almost like long blocks of stone, or a windswept yellow grass image in the same pose, that's Mudeung.
GwangJu is most known for its democratic uprising; and as such has two memorials, one in the above mentioned area SangMu-JiGu, the other the Cemetery which is north east of the city and is a very large memorial with detailed museums and educational facilities to enlighten visitors of the events that lead to the uprising.
- Art Street. A back street spanning approximately three blocks. It is full of artists works in galleries and nicely decorate the streets glass cases at different times throughout the year. For artists seeking supplies, many of the stores also carry very affordable materials.
Since 2005, the river area has been undergoing a surprising facelift, stretching from GwangJu's most famous food,clothing and furniture market, YangDong Market, all the way out of the city in a south eastly direction. Along the river edge you can see a giant circle which is beautifully lit at night, as well as many other coloured lights which are becoming a symbol of GwangJu which as its slogan is promoted as the City of Light and Hope, and which has a large photonics district in its most northern dong Cheomdan.
Cheomdan also hosted a light festival in 2007, running from April 27th till June 24th; included in the festival were many exhibits and replicas of famous locations, and a performing circus.
Cheomdan is also home to the GIST(GwangJu Institute of Science and Technology), the area has also many foreign students studying abroad.
