TWO-STOP IDEAS

Two stations, two sides of Gwangju

Give each place a distinct role instead of turning memory into background.

01

Namgwangju → Asia Culture Center

Modern lanes and contemporary exhibitions

Read institutions and housing in Yangnim-dong, then meet current Asian art and civic memory at ACC.

02

Yangdong Market → Geumnamno 4-ga

Market community and one screen

Study trade and solidarity by day, then support local cinema with one actual screening.

03

Gwangju Songjeong → Yangdong Market

Arrival market and working market

Read railway-linked redesign on arrival, then give a separate day to distribution and market community.

04

Uncheon / Hakdong·Jeungsimsa

Memorial park and mountain boundary

Both require a slower pace but very different preparation. Give each its own half day.
