Ganggyeong Modern Street

Ganggyeong Modern Street is a modern historical and cultural street created in Ganggyeong-eup, Nonsan-si. It is a place where you can see the modern appearance of Ganggyeong, where commerce and trade were active around the Geumgang River. Ganggyeong prospered as a commercial district was formed around a port connected to the West Sea through the Geumgang waterway, and with the opening of the Honam Line in 1911, it became a transportation hub, further developing commerce and distribution. Since then, its function as a commercial center has gradually diminished due to the growth of Gunsan Port and the decline of Geumgang water transportation, but modern cultural heritage showing what it was like at the time remains here and there.
Representative cultural heritage sites include the former Ganggyeong Labor Union (currently Ganggyeong History and Culture Information Center), the former Ganggyeong Branch of Hanil Bank (currently Ganggyeong History Museum), the Ganggyeong Old Training Center Building Pharmacy, the Ganggyeong Jungang Elementary School Auditorium, Ganggyeong Cathedral, and the former Ganggyeong Holiness Church Chapel. You can walk along modern buildings and old streetscapes and take a look at the history and lifestyle of Ganggyeong during its prosperous period.
Ganggyeong Modern Street can be accessed through national road 23, local road 68, and local road 799, and the nearby highways are the Nonsan-Cheonan Expressway Yeonmu IC and the Honam Expressway branch line Nonsan IC. Public transportation is available at Ganggyeong Station and Ganggyeong Bus Stop on the Honam Line, and nearby attractions such as Ganggyeong Salted Fish Market, Ganggyeong Port, Jukrim Seowon, and Palgwaejeong Pavilion are worth visiting. In particular, Ganggyeong’s modern streets and surrounding travel destinations received attention again after being introduced in the summer domestic travel series of the YouTube channel ‘Ddeutteun’.
