Gil-dong is a ''dong'', neighbourhood of Gangdong-gu in Seoul, South Korea.〔 〕 Exit 1 leads to many different love motels, hoffs, and norae bangs. In this direction it is about 2 km to the Han River. There is also a Paris baguette and a cafe bene on this side. Exit 2 and 3 lead to the post office and a large Korean market. Along the main road on this side of the street, there is a home plus, a dunking doughnuts, a 3 floor "dollar store" daiso and many Korean restaurants. There are also many dentists and more norae bangs that you can imagine. On the same street as the post office is a typical outdoor Korean market, made up of mostly fruit, vegetable, fish and ddok sellers. It has become more gentrified lately and shops such as "The Face Shop" have moved in. This market runs the length of gil-dong on this back street. This area back from the main road is made up of many small one-way streets with many villas and traditional Korean houses lining them. Gil-dong has the feel of an older, poorer Korean neighbourhood. There are lots of families and people riding bikes and buying groceries. The area is starting to change though, and newer high rises are being built up near the gildong/gangdong intersection. The area has relatively few hagwons, and hardly any foreigners living here. ==History== Gil-dong is geographically located far away from the Han River, so the natives believe this area is easy to be settled and safe to avoid any damage from storm and flood, based on Feng shui Theory. In 1995, Seoul Subway Line 5 was passed through this area stopping at Gil-dong Station. On the area of Gil-dong, Gangdong Public Library, Sinmyung Middle School, Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital of Hallym University and a Leadership Training Institute of Doosan Group named Yeongangwon is located. 〔 http://dong.gangdong.go.kr:8081/pub/dong/3240152/01_dong/03/01_dong_03.jsp 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gil-dong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
