Yangcheon District, Residential district in southwest Seoul, South Korea

The district encompasses Mok-dong, Sinjeong-dong, and Sinwol-dong neighborhoods, featuring modern apartment complexes and commercial establishments along the Han River.

Originally named Jechapaui-hyun during the Goguryeo period, the area received its current name Yangcheon in 1310 during the Goryeo dynasty.

The district organizes the Yangcheon Companion Dog Culture Festival, reflecting the community's appreciation for pets and the area's geographical shape.

The headquarters of major broadcasting networks CBS and SBS operate from Mok-dong, while the district provides multiple transportation connections to central Seoul.

The Hyperion Towers, completed in 2003, include a 69-story residential building reaching 256 meters in height, marking the district's modern architecture.
