Chungjangno
Chungjangno, Gwangju's buzzing, semi-pedestrianised shopping district, is bursting with clothing and accessory stores, bars, nightclubs, buzzing restaurants and all the fast-food chains. A tsunami of young people sweeps along the streets every night, both above ground and in the Chunggeum underground shopping arcade.

Shinsegae department store
Brand-name outlets rub shoulders here in a gleaming, luxury ambience. There's a Starbucks, the favourite haunt of doenjangnyeo (a derogatory term for young women who only care about style and fashion). Next to it is an art gallery (admission free) with changing exhibitions.
