Gwangju or Kwangju ((광주, 光州) is the sixth largest city in South Korea. Gwangju is best known for the Gwangju Massacre of May 1980, in which at least 207 (the number is disputed) students were killed by army forces suppressing a pro-democracy demonstration.
In Korea, Gwangju is famous for its local cuisine as is the province of Jeolla.
For your information, Gwangju is the sister city of Medan city, Capital of North Sumatera Province, Indonesia.
Travellers coming to Gwangju can experience a slower paced experience than Seoul, while still getting the bali bali (hurry hurry) lifestyle of Korea. It’s also a good hub for touring the surrounding province of South Jeolla.
