Large civic plaza marking the Gwangju May 18 Democratic Uprising—photograph broad open compositions with memorial sculptures, engraved walls, fountains and surrounding modern civic buildings. Best at golden hour or after dark when lights and water features pop. Central and wheelchair-accessible via Geumnam-ro; limited street parking—use public transit. Be respectful: it's a solemn memorial site, especially on May 18 anniversaries.
