Gwangjin District Public Library

The windows are lined with seats where the Han River spreads out right before your eyes. The Gangbyeon Expressway, which didn’t exist when the library first opened in 2000, fills one corner of the landscape as well. Known as the library with a view of the Han River, this book repository has even received an architecture prize from the city of Seoul. The building is divided into two parts—the library building and culture building.
