If you’re after a day-trip destination, we can help out. Located 20 miles away, Dong-Gu is worth hopping in the car for. Explore the area beginning with Geumnam-ro Street, Gwangju Art Street and Chosun University Museum of Art. The locals are also likely to point you toward Seo-Gu, 25 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Yangdong Market. (But we’re also big fans of Gwangju World Cup Stadium and Guus Hiddink Stadium.)
