The Yangcheon District (Yangcheon-gu) is a gu, or district, of Seoul, South Korea, located on the southwest side of the Han River. At the centre of this district is the Mok-dong area, which is home to numerous shopping outlets, bars and restaurants, an ice rink, and large residential buildings inhabited by mostly upper-middle and upper-class families.
It was known as 'Jechapaui-hyun' (제차파의현, 齊次巴衣縣) during the Goguryeo age, and has gone through several name-changes since.[2] It was renamed 'Yangcheon' in 1310, during the Goryeo dynasty. It was separated from the neighboring Gangseo district in 1988. The Yangcheon District includes Mok-dong, Sinjeong-dong and Sinwol-dong. This area was developed during the 1980s, as a result of government policy to build a new residential area in Seoul; large apartment complexes were built. Now, the Yangcheon District is home to mostly middle and upper-class families and is considered one of the better wards in Seoul to live. Yangcheon is located to the east of Gimpo International Airport and just south of the river from the popular Hongdae area of Seoul.
