Jamsil-dong

'''Jamsil-dong''' is a neighbourhood, ''[[dong (neighbourhood)|dong]]'' of [[Songpa-gu]], [[Seoul]], [[South Korea]]. Its name is strongly related to [[silkworm]] breeding during the [[Joseon dynasty]] and ''Jamsil'' literally means a room or place for [[sericulture]]. The state encouraged to people to raise silkworms, so founded ''Dongjamsil'' (동잠실, literally east place for sericulture) in the east vicinity of Seoul. ==See also== *[[Lotte World]] *[[Jamsil Baseball Stadium]] *[[Administrative divisions of South Korea]] ==External links== [http://www.songpa.go.kr/user.kdf?a=songpa.menu.MenuApp&cate_id=BC2500000000 Jamsil bon-dong resident center site] * [http://www.songpa.go.kr/english/contents/010302.jsp# Songpa-gu map] {{Songpa-gu}} {{neighbourhoods of Seoul}} {{coord missing|South Korea}}
