   Gwangmyeong Cave

   광명동굴

   Bearing the sweat of miners and the joys and sorrows of local villagers, this site was a place of Japanese colonial exploitation and a driving force behind modern industrial development, holding significant value as the only abandoned metal mine in the Seoul Metropolitan Area. After closing down over time, the mine was reopened in 2011 alongside local residents as a new cultural heritage and historical space of Gwangmyeong. It is a mystical space where magnificent cave scenery meets culture and arts, featuring attractions such as Cave Aqua World, Cave Arts Center, Golden Waterfall, Golden Pathway, and Golden Palace.MoreLess
