Gunsan Modern History Street
군산 근대화 거리 · Jeonbuk · Palaces & heritage
Gunsan was historically an important trading port. Because of that, it often served as the landing point of new culture in Korea. One such example is the modern culture during the Japanese colonial period, which traces of that time can still be found today. At Gunsan Modern History Street, you will find Gunsan Modern History Museum, Old Gunsan Customs Office, Gunsan Modern Art Museum, Gunsan Modern Architecture Hall, and the former Joseon Bank building standing in a row. If you want to see Gunsan’s past and present, a visit to the museum is recommended. The area between Leesungdang and this area is the old city center of Gunsan, home to shops and cafes that build upon Gunsan’s uniquely retro aesthetics.
