Korea (South) / Kwangju / Gwangju
 hotel, restaurant, church, place with historical importance, interesting place
With various modern architectural buildings and a forest of trees over 100 years old, Yangnim-dong is a living museum of history, architecture, culture, and art. During the Japanese Occupation, the foreign missionary built churches, schools, and hospitals in Yangrim-dong; thus earning for the area nicknames like "Jerusalem of Gwangju" and "Occidental Village."

Early Christian relics and traditional Korean sites remain just as they were in the old days along narrow alleys; lining Minsok-gil are traditional hanok(traditional Korean-style house) homes including the House of Choe Seung-hyo and the House of Yi Jang-u.
