Kwangju

Capital of South Cholla province, southwestern South Korea; population (2002 est) 1,371,000. It is at the centre of a rice-growing region. Beverages, textiles, and motor vehicles are also important industries. The city dates from the 1st century BC and was a centre of administration and commerce from ancient times; it grew rapidly in modern times after being linked by rail to Seoul in 1914.

A museum in the city houses a large collection of Chinese porcelain dredged up from the ocean floor in 1976 after lying there for over 600 years.
