무각사 MUGAKSA TEMPLE
Mugaksa temple is the representative temple in Gwangju, offering a gellery, bookstore, restaurant and temple-stays. Originally located on Yeouisan Mountain. After the designation of the area around Yeouisan Mountain as part of the May 18 Memorial Park, the temple came to stand within the park grounds.

1913 송정시장 1913 SONGJEONG STATION MARKET
Songjeong Station Market has stood next to Songjeong Railway Station since 1913. The century-old traditional market was once bustling with people shopping for daily wares but experienced a downturn amid changing consumer trends, However, changes have made to highlight the unique attributes of the market. Recently, several restaurants are introduced on TV program and it attracts many visitors. I suggest you visit the market on an empty stomach.
