Dobong District, Residential district in northern Seoul, South Korea.

Dobong District spans 20.71 square kilometers with four neighborhoods: Dobong-dong, Banghak-dong, Ssangmun-dong, and Chang-dong, bordered by Bukhansan National Park.

The district emerged in 1973 when authorities separated 22 administrative neighborhoods from Seongbuk District, establishing an independent municipal entity.

Numerous Buddhist temples, including Cheonchuksa, Wontongsa, and Manweolam, dot the landscape of Dobong Mountain within the district boundaries.

The district maintains multiple subway stations on Lines 1 and 4, connecting residents to central Seoul through efficient public transportation networks.

Dobong District contains South Korea's largest concentration of sock manufacturing facilities, with workshops operating in residential building basements.
