TWO-STOP IDEAS
Give each place a distinct role instead of turning memory into background.
Namgwangju → Asia Culture Center
Read institutions and housing in Yangnim-dong, then meet current Asian art and civic memory at ACC.
Yangdong Market → Geumnamno 4-ga
Study trade and solidarity by day, then support local cinema with one actual screening.
Gwangju Songjeong → Yangdong Market
Read railway-linked redesign on arrival, then give a separate day to distribution and market community.
Uncheon / Hakdong·Jeungsimsa
Both require a slower pace but very different preparation. Give each its own half day.
