귀	귀어청년보헤미안백사장 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The 5·18 Memorial park is in Sangmujigu and size is 204,959 ㎡ , fairly large park. (There are lots of Pokestop here.) There are Symbolic tower and memorial place, etc. and than everything is for Gangju Uprising The Gwangju Uprising , alternatively called May 18 Democratic Uprising by UNESCO,[3] and also known as Gwangju Democratization Movement. (Hangul: , 광주 민주화 운동; Hanja: 光州民主化運動; RR: Gwangju Minjuhwa Undong). was a popular uprising in the city of Gwangju, South Korea, from May 18 to 27, 1980. Estimates suggest up to 606 people may have died.[5]During this period, Gwangju citizens took up arms (by robbing local armories and police stations) when local Jeonnam University students – who were demonstrating against the Chun Doo-hwan government – were fired upon, killed, and beaten in an unprecedented attack by government troops.[6][7] The uprising eventually ended in defeat on May 27, 1980. The event is sometimes called 5·18 (May 18; Hangul: 오일팔; Hanja: 五一八; RR: Oilpal), in reference to the date the movement began.
B	B. Kostecki on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Important place for Gwangju citizens, go and read about the 5.18 protests.
H	H Fitzy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited 15th June 2018. Even after a heavy downpour, the rain accentuated the smell of the trees and the sound of cuckoos was prominent in the park. The view from the pavilion at the top of the hill was very memorable.

D	Davis Eckert on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not much to see but great place to take a walk. A bunch of little monuments in the park and a big one about 5/18 Uprising + lots of joggers. There is a Buddist Temple in the middle that you can go into, they were singing and easy the best part of the area.
E	Emil Svartström on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A compact sized park in the Sangmu region of Gwangju. Good for workouts: there is a small area with different kinds of gym equipment. In the middle of the park, there are a couple of observatory-style temples where one can have good views on the surrounding regions if the day clear. Prepare for long stairs and upward slopes!
