Traveling... Gwangju?

[MIGHTYMERICAN]

I've been thinking about traveling around Korea and was wondering if Gwangju had anything to offer? Any advice?

Take a look around these:

And Google around for some tips and recommendations. 

There's stuff to do in Gwangju, but it's best used as a base to see the rest of Jeollanam-do: buses run regularly to Suncheon, Yeosu (the Expo is coming up), Boseong (green tea fields), Damyang (bamboo forest), Mokpo (beaches and ferries to outlying islands), Yeonggwang (beaches), etc.
