    The Dragon Ascends to the Sky

    Yongsan, a propitious site where the energies of mountains and rivers converge and once the gateway of its time, is now reborn as the core of global business connecting the world.

    From ancient times to the Joseon;Period, a vital national gateway

    Yongsan, the capital’s gateway embracing the Hangang River

    From the Baekje, Goguryeo, and Silla kingdoms to Goryeo and Joseon, Yongsan served as a key land and water transport hub, a gathering point for grain, timber, and seafood, as well as a strategic military and logistical base safeguarding the gates of Seoul.

    A river port that once connected land and water, now a guardian of the capital’s gate.

    Opening and Trade;A Center Where People and Goods Converge

    The beginning of an international city where people and goods came together

    In the modern era, Yongsan transformed into a residential and commercial district for foreigners, becoming a precursor to the international city where railways, trams, and steamships coexisted. It is also a land that carries the painful history of modernization, once used as a Japanese military base.
