Imjingak

Bridge of Freedom

Imjingak (임진각, pronounced Ihm-jin-gak), and sometimes in English called the Imjingak "resort", is a park of sorts located on the banks of the Imjin River in the city of Paju, South Korea. The park has many statues and monuments regarding the Korean War.

The park was built to console those from North Korea who are unable to return to their hometowns, friends and families because of the division of Korea.

Imjingak is where the "Bridge of Freedom" lies. The Freedom bridge does not actually cross the Imjin river, but it is a bridge which was used by refugees from the north. It crosses a stream adjacent to the Imjin river.

Imjingak is a stop on many southern DMZ tours
