Gwangju Missionary Memorial

선교기념비

A roadside memorial on Yangnim-dong's modern-history route commemorating an early Presbyterian worship service while the exact original Jejungwon site was later reassessed; treat it as a short interpretation stop, read the updated context, keep the pavement clear and combine it with nearby heritage rather than making a standalone trip. This catalogue page connects the stop to traveller ratings, current field reports, nearby regional anchors and sourced community corrections.

    Yangnim-dong Penguin Village

    A resident-made upcycling-art lane and craft street behind Yangnim-dong Community Center, best paired with the wider modern-history neighbourhood; the official tourism listing gives craft-street hours of Tuesday–Sunday 10:00–18:00 and a Monday closure, while homes, workshops and classes retain their own privacy and schedules.

    Lee Jang-woo House

    A well-preserved upper-class modern hanok begun in 1899, with anchae, sarangchae, service and storage buildings around a restored Korean garden in Yangnim-dong; the official listing gives 09:00–18:00 and statutory-holiday closure, so confirm interior access, guided interpretation and event restrictions before visiting.
