GWANGJU, South Korea -- An ancient city in southwestern South Korea that was home to pro-democracy protests in 1980, Gwangju is now home to a picturesque residential area called Cheongchun Balsan Village, whose objets d'art and pastel-colored houses are making a splash on photo-sharing sites.
Cheongchun Balsan Village is about a 10-minute drive from downtown Gwangju. Colorful murals and molded sculptures are scattered around the neighborhood, creating the impression of a giant, open-air art gallery.
