[edit] Getting there
Gwangju is a small enough city that a taxi to the terminal is a cheap option in a pinch. To get there via subway, use exit 5 of Nongseong Station. It is roughly a ten-minute walk to the terminal.
[edit] Shopping
There is an Shinsegye next to the terminal; in fact it is connected to one of the exits. Behind the Shinsegye is an E-Mart department store, and behind the E-Mart is Kumho World, a large, multi-story electronics outlet store. Across the street from the E-Mart is an Outback steakhouse.
In early 2007, a large wing of the terminal was redesigned and reopened, meaning there are now more restaurants and coffee shops. A TGI Friday's was added in April, 2007, and the Dunkin Donuts was moved to this new wing. Other brand-name food outlets include Baskin Robbins, KFC, Lotteria, and Rosebud Cafe.
Near Gate 4 is a Young Poong Bookstore with a very limited selection of English books. There are a number of English-language Lonely Planets available, a few relatively recent bestsellers, a small selection of "classics," and a table of English-language DVDs.
