Yongsan District, Central district in Seoul, South Korea

Located between Gangnam and central Seoul, Yongsan District stretches across 21 square kilometers along the northern bank of the Han River.

The area functioned as a primary entry point for maritime traders during the Joseon Dynasty, establishing its commercial importance in Korean history.

The National Museum of Korea maintains collections of Korean artifacts, including the Pensive Bodhisattva statue and ancient gold crowns from the Silla period.

The district contains multiple transportation hubs, including Yongsan Station, which provides rail connections to destinations throughout South Korea.

The Seoul Central Mosque, built in 1976 with twin minarets, serves the Muslim community and demonstrates the religious diversity within the district.
