Gwangju Dong-gu 'ACC-Yangnimdong Cultural Street Development Project' Officially Launched

The 'Cultural Street Development Project' connecting the National Asian Culture Complex (ACC), a representative cultural tourism resource in the Gwangju area, and Penguin Village in Yangnim-dong, Nam-gu, is set to be launched in earnest.

According to Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, on the 3rd, the district plans to focus all efforts on establishing the area's identity and attracting domestic and international tourists by creating a pedestrian-friendly environment with designs reflecting the characteristics of the printing industry on the roads of the Seonam-dong printing cluster located between the two symbolic hubs of Dong-gu and Nam-gu.

The 'Seonam-dong Printing Cluster,' located at the center of the representative tourist resources of Dong-gu and Nam-gu, is the core project site of the 'Seonam-dong Urban Regeneration New Deal Project' that has been underway since 2020, with infrastructure construction currently in full progress.

The 'Seonam-dong Printing Street Complex Hub Facility,' which began full-scale design work in March this year, will include anchor facilities such as a public parking lot, printing academy, printing startup, and Asian food platform. Upon completion, it is expected to serve as a bridge connecting the Culture Complex and Yangnim-dong, as well as act as a catalyst for increasing foot traffic in the old downtown area and revitalizing the local economy.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, stated, "Seonam-dong will establish itself as an important bridge connecting Nam-gu's Yangnim-dong, Dong-gu's Culture Complex, and Dongmyeong-dong, serving as a model of mutual growth for the sections." He added, "We will work closely with Nam-gu to ensure the activation of a 'stay-type tourism belt' connecting Yangnim-dong to Dongmyeong-dong."
