Byongp'ung and Samkak on the north, Mt. Kumdang on the south, and Mt. Udeung and Yongjeon on the west. Gwangju forms a natural basin, which is a fertile and warm area with many tributary streams of the Youngsan River such as Taechon, Orye, Jiseok streams, etc. Considering such a natural environment, we can easily predict that the plain in the southwestern area had been a place for the settlement.
