Gwangjin District (Korean: 광진구; RR: Gwangjin-gu) is one of the 25 districts of Seoul, bordering Jungnang to the north, Dongdaemun and Seongdong to the west, Guri and Gangdong to the east, and across the Han River, it borders Gangnam and Songpa to the south.
Description[]
The flag of Gwangjin District is a white background with the district's logo in the center atop a text which reads "광진구" (RR: Gwangjin-gu) in black.
Symbolism[]
The green triangle shape at the top of the logo represents Achasan Mountain, a key landmark in Gwangjin-gu and an important historical site of Goguryeo culture. The inverted triangle symbolizes Achasan Mountain as it is reflected in the Han River. In the center, the shape of a sailboat represents "Gwangnaru," a ferry port on the Han River during the Joseon Dynasty, which is also the origin of the name Gwangjin. The dynamic ellipse, tilted at a 30-degree angle, signifies Gwangjin-gu's powerful leap into the future and the unity of its residents. The color green represents Gwangjin-gu's abundant green spaces and leisurely culture, white symbolizes its long history and bright future, and blue reflects the clear waters of the Han River and the clean environment.
