Geumnam-ro is Gwangju's historic main street, deeply tied to the 1980 May 18 Democratic Uprising, with meaningful landmarks scattered throughout. The broad avenue blends government buildings and bustling shops, making it a pleasant spot for a downtown stroll.
금남로는 광주의 역사와 현대가 공존하는 중심 도로로, 5·18 민주화운동의 발자취가 곳곳에 남아있는 뜻깊은 장소입니다. 넓은 거리를 따라 관공서와 상업시설이 어우러져 있어 도심 산책을 즐기기에도 좋습니다.
