Hi, I’m Tabi!

In Gwangju’s Dong-gu, choose Jeungsimsa on the slopes of Mudeungsan or the National Asian Culture Center downtown. Plan transport separately between the mountain temple and the cultural venue.

This guide covers places within Dong-gu, Gwangju, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Jeungsimsa Temple

証心寺

This temple is on the western foothills of Mudeungsan. The 2010 photograph looks up toward its grounds from the trail side. Treat temple visiting separately from a summit hike, and respect worship and access notices.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02

A first-visit stop

National Asian Culture Center

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

An official tourism article introduces meat jeon and buckwheat noodles in Dong-gu. Ask about meat, egg, wheat, buckwheat and preparation, and confirm current menus. This is not a guarantee that a particular restaurant is open.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Tabi suggests a short look around permitted visitor areas at the first stop, followed by a break. Check transport and access separately for the other destination.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
