Gwangju's official tourism portal describes Yangnim Historic Village as a neighbourhood of traditional houses, missionary-era architecture and cultural alleys. The village streets are generally open at all times and free, and Namgwangju subway station is about a 12-minute walk away. Driving visitors can look for Yangnim Historic Village Public Parking (roughly 100 spaces, 2 Cheonbyeonjwa-ro 418beon-gil, Nam-gu) or the former community-centre lot (roughly 10 spaces, 6 Samilmanseundong-gil, Nam-gu). Individual heritage buildings and galleries may have separate hours; do not assume they share the streets' open access. Nearby buses include Geumnam 55.
