Guri (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".; lit. 'Town of Nine Villages[a]'; Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a city in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It is located immediately to the east of Seoul, in the heart of the Capital Metropolitan Area.
The Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty are located in the city. The hill of Achasan, site of the Baekje-era Achasanseong and numerous hiking trails, is located here; the city also has pleasant walking paths along Wang-suk-cheon, a small creek separating Guri from Namyangju. The traditional town market in Doldari (Guri's downtown around what used to be a "stone bridge") provides a cheap alternative to department stores.[citation needed]
Guri first became a separate city in 1986. It had previously been considered part of Yangju from antiquity until 1980, and part of Namyangju from 1980 to 1986. The name "Guri" was first used in 1914, at which time the area was a myeon in Yangju.
Location
The city lies in the east-northern area of Gyeonggi Province. The mountain of Achasan is to its west, and the city of Namyangju is to the east.
The total area of the city is Template:Cvt; it used to be larger, however, some of the townships were incorporated into Seoul and other cities surrounding Guri.
Topography
Wangsil Stream and the Han River flow into the city, and they have about seventeen tributaries in the region.
Climate
Guri has a humid continental climate (Köppen: Dwa), but at times it can be considered a borderline humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cwa) using the −3 °C (27 °F) isotherm. Script error: No such module "weather box".
Transportation
Guri is connected to Seoul by two rail lines (Gyeongui–Jungang Line via Guri station, Gyeongchun Line via Galmae station), as well as numerous city transit and intercity bus options.
In 2024, the extension of Seoul Subway Line 8 opened for service, bringing additional subway service to Guri.[3]
