Gimpo
Gimpo-si lies along the lower Han River in Gyeonggi-do, a position between Seoul, Incheon and the Yellow Sea coast that has shaped it into an urban and transport corridor. The municipality combines dense new neighbourhoods and major roads with farmland on the Gimpo Plain, long associated with rice cultivation; Gimpo Geumssal is a locally marketed rice brand. The Ara Waterway links the Han River system with the Yellow Sea, while the city’s northern edge meets the inter-Korean border zone. Rail and road connections also place Gimpo firmly within the wider Seoul Capital Area. Its river plain, housing districts and industrial land show the continuing expansion of metropolitan Korea beyond Seoul’s administrative boundaries.

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.
