Location
1002 ~ 1008, 311-6 Galhyeon-dong, Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea
Gwacheon, located just south of Seoul, is a small yet vibrant city known for its peaceful atmosphere, convenient access to the capital, and close proximity to nature. Nestled at the foot of Gwanaksan Mountain, the city offers beautiful hiking trails and spacious parks, including Central Park—home to an iconic fountain that serves as a popular local meeting spot. Although Gwacheon’s downtown area and nightlife are relatively modest, ongoing developments are bringing in modern cafés, boutique shops, and new amenities. With major hubs like Gangnam, Sadang, and Anyang all easily accessible—Gangnam is just a 40-minute bus ride away—residents enjoy the best of both worlds.
