|
| Hub City of the Southwestern Region of Korea |
|
 |
|
Gwangju is the leading city of the Honam region, with the entire nation within a day's reach.
The emerging importance of Korea's western coastline and the government's effort to balance growth across the nation have triggered large-scale urban development projects such as the construction of the Gwangju hi-tech industrial complex, transformation of Gwangju into a center of production, and |
|
| improvement of housing and leisure facilities. Such support will boost Gwangju's status as the hub of Korea 's southwest region. |

| - Daein, Namgwangju and Yangdong Market |
|
| You can be welcomed by the generous salespeople at local markets. Daein Market, in Daein-dong close to Geumnamno, has represented local markets of Gwangju. It sells fresh fish and vegetables delivered from their production areas. Especially, you can be satiated with delicious sushi at a low price. Nam Gwangju Market is close to downtown and one of the biggest marine product markets in Gwangju. It sells fresh seafood delivered from nearby areas. |
|
| - City of Patriotism |
|
| During the seven-year-long Japanese invasion of Korea beginning in 1592, Gwangju successfully defended itself against the invaders. |
|
| Such a tradition, where citizens fought bravely during our nation's crises, has continued throughout history. Citizens sacrificed their lives during the Japanese invasion in 1592, fought against the colonialist Japanese rule in the early 1900's, and again lost many lives during the May 1980 democratic movement in defense of justice, democracy, human rights and freedom. Gwangju is campaigning to designate May 18 as a national holiday, and completing the effort to designate the May 18 Cemetery as a shrine in homage to the lives sacrificed, to continue its tradition of defending democracy, and to establish its position as part of the democratic history of the world. |
