Balsan Village is a representative neighborhood of Gwangju and is a prime example of how something amazing can come out of hardship. First settled by Korean war refugees, the small houses jam-packed on a hillside attracted young people looking for work in the 1970s and '80s, mainly females working in the garment factories nearby. Recently, the addition of colorful murals and public spaces has given the village a breath of new life.

The Street of Duck Stew in Gwangju is lined with restaurants specializing in duck dishes. Its origins trace back to the 1970s, when a duck farmer began selling duck stew, adding their own twist by incorporating water parsley and perilla seeds to the recipe they had learned. The affordable price and clean, rich taste of stew made it popular among visitors, eventually leading to the formation of the current street. The popular dishes include ori tang (duck stew), ori roseu (grilled duck), and ori jumulleok (spicy stir-fried marinated duck).

Yeongmi Oritang has been serving up duck stew (oritang) to the community for over 80 years. Made with ground perilla seeds, soybean paste, chili powder, garlic, and other carefully selected ingredients, the duck is boiled in an earthen pot and seasoned with ginseng, jujube, and water parsley to suit each customer's individual tastes. The dish is served with kimchi side dishes, which are said to enhance the flavor of the duck meat. Since duck is known to be effective in treating liver and geriatric diseases, the restaurant is popular not only for its delicious flavors, but also for the health benefits of its food.
