Introduction

Gwangcheon Cave Salted Shrimp Complex is a collection of shops offering saeujeot (salted shrimp), a specialty of Gwangcheon. Gwangcheon’s proximity to the Yellow Sea makes it a famous place for jeotgal (salted seafood), particularly those made with shrimp. Gwangcheon’s saeujeot (salted shrimp) is stored and aged in a former mine cave tunnel, so it has great quality. There is even an exhibition hall dedicated to Gwangcheon cave salted shrimp. The Gwangcheon Cave Salted Shrimp & Dried Laver Festival is held in October.
