Cheonggu-dong is a dong, neighbourhood of Jung-gu in Seoul, South Korea.

Overview[edit]

Cheonggu-dong is a designated administrative neighborhood situated in the eastern region of Jung-gu. It shares its eastern boundary with Joto Ward, while Yaksu-dong lies to the south, Chasan-dong to the west, and Donghwa-dong to the north, all falling within the same administrative ward. Originally, the administrative divisions in this locality were known as Shindang 1-dong through Shindang 6-dong, designated by numerical order without historical significance. Following a resident survey, a new name was selected from various options. Consequently, on 20 July 2013, all cave names were simultaneously changed, with the exception of Shindang 5-dong, which was renamed as "Cheongkyu-dong."
