Gwacheon, Administrative city in Gyeonggi, South Korea

Gwacheon extends across 35.86 square kilometers of land between Seoul and Anyang, featuring government offices and modern urban developments.

The region transformed from Yulmok-gun in 475 CE during the Goguryeo dynasty to Gwacheon-hyeon in 1413, marking centuries of administrative evolution.

The National Museum of Contemporary Art presents Korean and international exhibitions within large gallery spaces that occupy former government buildings.

Seoul Subway Line 4 connects Gwacheon directly to Seoul, with multiple stations serving different sections of the city for easy transportation.

Seoul Grand Park encompasses a zoo, botanical gardens, and Seoul Land amusement park, making it the largest recreational complex in the region.
