Take a walk down the shopping street where each shop will try to out-do the other over how loud they can play some form of EDM or Kpop. You'll be dazzled by the bright lights and stores. But once you've reached the centre you can veer off and find one of the many bars to settle down in and spend the night drinking Maekju (beer) with friends. It's so lively you won't know where to look. #stunningstructures](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/1970/0d8a4e15-1e99-4638-aa74-75b20d9c1f64.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Seo-Gu Things to do Hotels Where to stay [Gwangju Travel Guide](https://expedia.com/Gwangju.dx1970) --- ### Popular places to visit ![Peaks of Mudeungsan national park near Gwangju, Republic of Korea](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621565498281/cbc5dea9-9ee9-4585-9958-9a75c9525763.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Mudeungsan Mountain Commune with nature and explore the great outdoors at Mudeungsan Mountain during your travels in Gwangju.
