This city is like an album steeped in time, each page revealing a unique landscape. Here's a guide to the hidden charms of Gwangmyeong, blending cultural experiences with natural beauty: 1. Gwangmyeong Cave: A Subterranean Realm of Light and Shadow Transformed from an abandoned mine, this art space is Gwangmyeong's most iconic attraction. Descend 100 meters underground into winding tunnels, now a fantastical world illuminated by light and shadow art. The cave maintains a constant temperature year-round and features immersive exhibitions, including holographic galaxies and waterfalls of light and sound, transporting you to a sci-fi movie scene. The winter "Festival of Lights" is even more dazzling, with ice formations and colorful lights intertwining like a subterranean Milky Way. The cave also houses a winery and café—enjoy a glass of wine amidst the deep rock walls for a unique experience. 2. Seonyudo Park: An Urban Oasis Located on the banks of the Han River, Seonyudo Park is a testament to ecological restoration, transforming a former water purification plant into a natural paradise. Reeds sway in the breeze, wetland walkways meander through the landscape, and egrets gracefully skim the water's surface, creating a tranquil watercolor painting. Cherry blossoms line the paths in spring, while silver grass waves like the sea in autumn. The park's preserved industrial relics juxtaposed with modern sculptures create a unique artistic atmosphere. Ascend the observation deck for panoramic views of the shimmering Han River and the city skyline, experiencing the harmonious coexistence of nature and urban life. 3. Gwangmyeong Traditional Market: A Culinary Adventure For a taste of local life, don't miss Gwangmyeong Traditional Market. The aroma of spicy tteokbokki and sweet bungeoppang fills the air, while vendors sizzle "Gwangmyeong-style barbecue" on iron grills. The moment the fat drips onto the charcoal, the vibrant energy of the market comes alive. Deep within the market, an old herbalist brews omija tea using traditional methods. The sweet and sour flavors invigorate the senses, like a sip from the past. 4. Gwangmyeong Lake Park: The Poetry of Four Seasons Surrounding a mirror-like lake, this park is renowned for its ever-changing seasonal scenery. Weeping cherry blossoms cascade like snow in spring, fireflies twinkle in the woods on summer nights, maple trees paint the sky red in autumn, and in winter, the lake freezes over, becoming a natural ice rink beneath snow-covered pine branches. The "Starlight Library" on the lakeshore, with its glass dome ceiling, offers a view of the night sky dancing with the pages of books, creating a tranquil atmosphere infused with literary charm. 5. Gwangmyeong Railroad Park: Nostalgia on the Tracks A section of disused railway has been transformed into a nostalgic theme park, where rusty steam locomotives and colorfully graffitied carriages create a retro photo spot. Stroll along the tracks, and imagine the echo of old steam whistles. Art installations along the way—sculptures made of gears and mazes built from railway sleepers—tell the story of industry and art in conversation. Gwangmyeong is like an uncut gem, possessing the raw beauty of industrial relics while embracing the delicate artistry of nature. Here, every step reveals the intersection of history and the future, and every scene whispers a unique story of this captivating city.

#New York Flight Ticket Event Address: 142 Gahak-ro 85beon-gil, Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do I visited Gwangmyeong Cave in Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do~ Since it is a cave theme park close to Seoul, there are quite a lot of tourists if you visit on the weekend, so you may have to wait a bit to get in! Adult admission is 10,000 won per person, and the cave is quite large and there are many things to see, so it is a fun place to visit :) If you are looking for a place to visit near Seoul, I recommend Gwangmyeong Cave~

Gwangmyeong Cave~ It was a time to spend the summer coolly A trip to Gwangmyeong Dolgul~~~ Invitation

#0yentrip Gwangmyeong Cave It's great for cooling off in the summer! You can also enjoy the light and water effects. #GwangmyeongCave

#koreatrip This is a full afternoon activity for family in the summer time. Visiting this cave is not dangerous at all. It does require going up and down the steps so avoid bringing baby strollers. Make sure your kids is ready to exercise while exploring the cave (ie. waterfall, garden, treasure, history, rocks and minerals and many more). On a hot summer day, this cave is a must visit. Wear closed toe shoes for safety reasons.

#koreatrip This abandoned mine turned into a tourist attraction (trap?), which is more of a theme park than a historic landmark. The last segment of the tour focuses on the interesting history (mining, refugee hideout, salted shrimp pantry...) of this "cave," but only briefly. Most of the mine is littered with LED lights, gold themed statues and decorations, aquariums, and lots and lots of stairs. So if you have trouble moving, I would recommend skipping this one. Bring a sweater because there's a constant flow of cold air, and the moist walls keep the temperature low. Tickets cost us 10000₩ per person, so I guess they forgot to change the price on their website, which says adults are 6000₩ per person. I'm not really sure if it was worth it, because every additional activity costs you more money, and all you do here is go up down and out again. Took us about 30-40 minutes. Also, if you have a foreign card, prepare cash because foreign cards aren't really working here.

#OverseasFlightEvent A lot of people go to Gwangmyeong to go to IKEA and Costco!! Gwangmyeong Cave is so well-made that it's a shame to just come back 💜 I went there while visiting a friend who lives in Gwangmyeong and it was so much better than I thought!! A tip is that the inside of the cave is colder than you think, so it would be good to bring something to wear or a blanket!! Kkungbi#GwangmyeongCave

A place to compete with salt bread.🥐 It's Sooltu Bakery near Gwangmyeong Cave. The outside and inside of the cafe are full of emotion.
