A gate driving unit, a gate driving circuit, a driving method thereof, and a display device are disclosed. The gate driving unit includes first to eighth transistors, a first capacitor and a second capacitor. The gate driving circuit includes multiple gate driving units arranged along a first direction, of which first timing control signal terminals and second timing control signal terminals of respective stages are electrically connected to a first lead terminal and a second lead terminal respectively. In addition, the gate driving circuit is driven along the first direction or along a second direction in reset periods and shift periods. The display device includes a display region and a frame region surrounding the display region, where a portion of the frame region on at least one side of the display region is provided with a gate driving circuit.
