Gangnam

The area around Gangnam Station is a transportation hub in the Gangnam region. Centered on Gangnam-daero, Teheran-ro extends eastward connecting to the Jamsil direction, while westward it connects to the Sadang area. From the Kyobo Tower intersection, the left side leads to the Express Bus Terminal, connecting to Noryangjin and western Seoul, and straight north across Hannam Bridge to Gangbuk. To the south, it connects through Yangjae to new towns such as Bundang and the metropolitan area including Seongnam City. The reason why a large floating population gathers at Gangnam Station is that the vicinity of Gangnam Station is suitable as a meeting place for appointments. It has regional and commercial characteristics that are good for various gatherings, events, or personal meetings. Therefore, on weekdays, mainly in the evening, and on weekends, from the afternoon, it is common to see crowds at exits 10 and 11 of Gangnam Station, in front of Lotte Cinema (formerly City Theater), and in front of the Giordano store. This environment, with convenient transportation and numerous fashion-related stores, theaters, large bookstores, and other consumer-friendly facilities, attracts consumers from distant areas to Gangnam Station. The Gangnam-gu Office operates the Gangnam Medical Tour Center, a experiential tourism hub facility where domestic and foreign tourists can see, feel, and enjoy Gangnam-gu's excellent infrastructure of medical services and Hallyu (Korean Wave), in addition to comprehensive tourism services.
