Imjingak, Memorial park near DMZ in Paju, South Korea.

Imjin Gak extends along the banks of the Imjin River, featuring monuments, an observation deck, and a train locomotive damaged during wartime.

The park was established in 1972 to provide a gathering space for families separated by the division between North and South Korea.

The Mangbaedan Altar hosts memorial services during New Year and Korean Thanksgiving for South Koreans to honor their relatives in North Korea.

Visitors need to present identification cards to access certain areas, including the Peace Gondola that crosses over the Imjin River.

The Freedom Bridge, constructed in 1953, remains intact as a symbol of prisoner exchanges following the Korean War armistice.
