Gangnam-gu Essentials

Gangnam-gu balances high-tech urbanity with deep historical roots. The district features the Starfield Library's floor-to-ceiling shelves and the COEX Aquarium within one of Asia’s largest underground malls. Historical sites include the 8th-century Bongeunsa Temple and the UNESCO-listed Seonjeongneung royal tombs. Modern culture is represented by the 'Gangnam Style' monument and the high-end boutiques of Apgujeong Rodeo Street. As the global headquarters for Taekwondo, Kukkiwon offers insight into Korea’s national martial art, while the Gangnam Station underground market provides a dense concentration of local fashion and cosmetics.
