Hi guys,

I'm flying out on Tuesday, I've decided to spend Monday in Gwangju. I need help with the following info:

1. Jimjibang near Gwangju bus terminal.
2. Places to visit during the day in Gwangju. No more mountains or temples please.....I've seen enough.

BTW.....I'm a woman, plus I'll be travelling alone.

Thanks a bunch guys.

Sorry.....forgot the most important question:

Is there a locker rental at the Gwangju Bus terminal? I can't drag my luggage around town while sightseeing.

I change my mind.....temples are OK.

Thanks again.

Democracy Park is the one place I tell everyone to visit if they don't see anything else in Korea.

It's a great memorial to the pro-democracy movement in K's history. If you are near the bus terminal - there's a tourist info booth who will be able to direct you there. There's a bus that you can take (local bus) tho a taxi might be faster, it's a bit of a ride. depends on your schedule.

The park is huge, you can spend at least 2-3 hours walking around, visiting the museum, be sure and go to the underground part they have a good photo and video exhibit.

Have fun!

oh - there's also the huge art museum there where the Biennale is held ever 2 years - and regular exhibitions other times - but most museums in the world are closed on Mondays - so ask first about this one.

also at least 2-3 hours worth
