Welcome to the official English homepage of Gyeonggi Province!

Gyeonggi Province has long served a key role in the development of Korea through its
strategic location and vibrant economy.  Home to world-leading enterprises such as
Samsung, LG and Hyundai-Kia, our province accounts for one-fifth of the nation’s
exports and GDP.  Also, as the fastest growing regional economy in Korea,
Gyeonggi is one of the most sought after destinations for foreign investment.

Since Gyeonggi Province borders on North Korea, the region is strategically
important in terms of international relations and business opportunities. 
At the same time, the west coast of Gyeonggi Province is increasing in
prominence as the core of Northeast Asianlogistics through the full-scale
development of Pyeongtaek Port, the closest seaport to China.

Gyeonggi is regarded as the center of Korea’s culture – both ancient and modern –
and as the heart of its agriculture.  We are blessed with countless cultural artifacts
and remains as well as beautiful mountains, lakes and coastlines and a bounty of
agricultural products. For all these reasons, we pride ourselves on being the epitome
of Korea.

From lucrative business opportunities to exciting travel experiences, Gyeonggi Province
has what you are looking for and much more. I invite you to explore Gyeonggi Province
and discover why we truly are the heart of Korea!
