  Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park

  Touring the forefront of tourism related to the Korean War The Bridge of Freedom, a symbol of the tragedies of the Korean War, is a temporary bridge with no architecturally noteworthy element but holds significance as a representative modern heritage that symbolizes the cold war through embodying the “return to freedom.” Steam Locomotive at Jangdan station, the area where the 1,020 bullets penetrated is like a honeycomb, and the exterior of the fire box is torn and crumpled. This is a painful wound between compatriots. Magbaedan Altar, which stands opposite of Imjingak, is famous for the place where people from North Korea visit and perform ancestral rites by bowing toward their hometown every New Years Day and Thanks Giving Day.
