Gwangjin District is one of the 25 districts of Seoul, South Korea. It is located on the north bank of the Han River on the eastern end of Seoul. The district was split from the neighboring Seongdong District in 1995.
Gwangjin District is home to Konkuk University and Sejong University.
Gwangjin District is characterized by a remarkable variety in its composition. It is home to the Konkuk University campus, the vicinity of which is one of Seoul's top nightlife destinations, as well as Children's Grand Park, an equally popular attraction for children and families. The south bank overlooking the Han River is a densely packed residential district, where high-rise apartment buildings dominate the skyline, yet the heart and northern end of the district are centers for light industry and manufacturing. The district is also a hub for transportation and mail in and out of Seoul, as the Dong Seoul Bus Terminal and the East-Seoul Postal Service Depot link Seoul with most other major cities in Korea. Most of the remaining area is residential, but consist not of apartment buildings characteristic of the city, but of three or four-story row houses separated by small roads and alleyways.
The Konkuk University area is a popular nightlife district featuring dozens of restaurants, bars, DVD rooms, and pool houses catering to a mostly younger crowd, much like the areas of Sinchon and Hongdae. The area is also a burgeoning shopping district with several boutiques cropping up within the newly designated Rodeo Street and the opening of the Star City mall, which features numerous restaurants and specialty shops.
Adjacent to the Sejong University campus is Children's Grand Park, which features fountains, walking trails, a zoo, and an amusement park.
In the centre of Gwangjin District is Gangbyeon subway station. On the left of the station is Dong Seoul Bus Terminal, where buses serve various destinations including Busan, Gwangju, Daegu, and Daejeon.
Located in the northeastern section of the District is the Sheraton Grande Walkerhill, managed by the Sheraton Hotels and Resorts[2] and W Seoul Walkerhill Hotel, with one of only three casinos in Seoul.
