Gimpo
Gimpo-si is best known within Gyeonggi-do for Gimpo rice, a long-established product of the fertile lowlands beside the lower Han River. On the northwestern edge of the Seoul metropolitan area, the city combines dense apartment districts, commercial corridors and major roads with agricultural land farther west. Its historical landmark is Jangneung, the royal tomb of Wonjong, father of King Injo of the Joseon dynasty. Jangneung belongs to the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty, a UNESCO World Heritage property. Gimpo’s position along the Han River places this expanding city close to the estuary and the borderlands of the Korean peninsula.

Gimpo-si straddles the transition between the lower Han River estuary and Gyeonggi-do’s western plain, and its position between Seoul and the Yellow Sea has made it a rapidly changing metropolitan fringe. The Ara Waterway joins the Han near the city, creating a navigable connection across the peninsula to Incheon’s coast. Rice fields remain central to local identity, with Gimpo Geumssal rice recognised as a regional product. Jangneung, containing the tombs of King Wonjong and Queen Inheon, is part of the UNESCO-listed Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty.
