Seodaemun and Mapo are districts in northwestern Seoul, by the banks of the Han River. They're most notable for their colleges and universities, resulting in a distinctly youthful culture, especially in the twin subdistricts of Hongdae and Sinchon, separated by a single subway stop, a 10-minute bus ride, or a 20-minute walk.

Jung is in Seoul, constituting the southern half of the historic core of Seoul, along with Jongno. Jung is busier than its tranquil neighbor, with hundreds of offices buildings and endless streets of frantic shopping, but scattered among the hustle and bustle are more historic gems.
