Imjingak information A train stopped at the end of the Gyeongui Line in Paju, Gyeonggi Province. “The iron horse that wants to run but cannot” has been rusting for over 70 years, silently testifying to the pain of division and the tragedy of the nation. Near Imjingak, at the end of the Gyeongui Line, there is a rusted train under the words “The iron horse wants to run.” This train, which has remained out of service since the Korean War, is a symbol of division and vividly brings back the forgotten traces of the war. Inside, the rooms and equipment that evoke the atmosphere of the time remain intact, allowing visitors to travel back in time. This place, which borders the DMZ, is home to the US military base “Camp Greaves,” where UN forces were stationed in the past. After the armistice agreement in 1953, this place served as a headquarters for UN forces to carry out rotational missions and support. Now, it has been transformed into a division experience space operated by the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization to welcome visitors. The commanding officer’s office and communications room have been recreated in their original form, and the ammunition depot remains in a structure that can be used as a bunker in case of an emergency. The US military barracks and unit markings in the shape of military numbers left here and there vividly convey the reality of war. The traces of soldiers from allied countries who rushed to help from around the world at the time prove the solidarity and humanity that blossomed on the ruins. At the Mangbaedan installed in Imjingak, the heartbreaking stories of displaced people who left their hometown are recalled. In this place where we calmly face the reality of “wanting to go but not being able to,” the eyes looking at the North Korean mountain range just a few hundred meters away are still warm. It has been a long time since we heard anything from the 100,000 abducted compatriots, but the wait of their families is not over. The northern ridge stretching out beyond the Dokgae Bridge stimulates the desire for unification. Symbolic art works to remember this pain are also displayed here and there. The installation expressing the rare plant, anemone, through upcycling symbolizes life and peace and tells another story of the DMZ. Meanwhile, the Peace Nuri Campground near Camp Greaves is well-maintained and welcomes visitors. The comfortable caravan accommodations serve as a comfortable resting place for families visiting the site of division, and it is a unique experience where the past and present coexist. The nearby Peace Nuri Plaza is a popular tourist attraction with various cultural events and a resting place. Recently, the ‘Peace Gondola’ departing from Imjingak and flying toward the DMZ opened, and families riding the gondola look out the window at the North Korean land and imagine the painful past of the severed homeland and the future of reconciliation together. Quoting the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, he said, "We hope that Camp Greaves and the DMZ area will become a place of education that recalls the painful past that is being forgotten and conveys the value of peace to future generations." This is not just an old battlefield or a historical site. It is a 'living site of division' filled with the tears and wishes of countless people, and at the same time, a place to strengthen the will for peace.
Majang Reservoir Suspension Bridge Majang Lake Swinging Bridge Majang Lake in Paju, Gyeonggi-do Not only is it the longest swinging bridge in Korea that crosses the lake, but the cool water and forest trails help you forget the heat. Since it is often visited by families and couples as a weekend outing spot, it is well-equipped with parking lots and amenities. The fact that admission is free adds to its appeal as a place for an outing without any burden. Majang Lake Swinging Bridge is 220m long and 1.5m wide, making it the longest swinging bridge in Korea. If you stand in the middle of the bridge, you can see the blue lake and lush forests spreading out in all directions. In the summer, mist sometimes rises, creating a landscape that looks like a scene from a painting. The 18m bulletproof glass floor installed in the middle of the bridge is the representative point of Majang Lake Swinging Bridge. When you look down, you can see the water, rocks, and sparkling sunlight spread out under your feet at a glance, which naturally brings about a thrill. Of course, those who are afraid of heights or feel somewhat scared can use the wooden steps or wire mesh sections. With a wide range of options, anyone, regardless of age or gender, can comfortably walk on the bridge and enjoy the leisurely scenery. The unique shaking of the suspension bridge is also one of the charms of this place. The feeling of the bridge slightly shaking with the wind with every step gives you a thrilling feeling as if you are going on an adventure. Children in particular enjoy this shaking as if it were a game and walk excitedly. The charm of Majang Lake is not limited to the suspension bridge. The walking trail along the lake is also a must-see. The 3.3km-long circular walking trail follows the lake, and the flat dirt road and wooden deck are in perfect harmony. Since it is a level of difficulty that anyone can easily walk in light clothing, it is also suitable for a family outing with the elderly. There are observation decks and rest areas along the walking trail, so you can rest while feeling the lake breeze. In the summer, the sunlight streaming through the leaves and the sparkling water are healing just by looking at them. There is also ample parking space. There is a parking lot that can accommodate about 540 cars, so those using their own cars can also visit conveniently. Another advantage of Majang Lake Swinging Bridge is that there is no separate admission fee. Since it is open year-round, you can visit freely at any time without a special reservation. Paju Majang Lake Swinging Bridge is a place that can be called a summer outing spot in the city. The thrilling swinging bridge experience, the cool lake breeze, and the walk along the lush forest path will cool down your body and mind at once. For those planning a family outing with their parents for the first time in a while, those looking for a special date course with their significant other, and those looking to spend a different day with friends, Majang Lake Swinging Bridge will be a satisfying travel destination. If you are tired of the heat, why not go on an outing to Majang Lake in Paju this weekend? Blow away your stress with the coolness and thrill of nature that you have never felt before, and the beauty of the vast lake.

Imjingak is a representative peace tourism site in South Korea where the tragedy of the Korean War that broke out on June 25, 1950 and the subsequent national conflict remain. It is a place where you can learn the value of peace while looking at the painful traces of war. There are various war memorials such as the Imjingang District War Memorial and the U.S. Military Participation Memorial, and a train that ran to Sinuiju, the northernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula before the division of the North and South, stops here and is on display. There used to be two Imjin Bridges side by side, but one was destroyed during the war, and only the bridge piers remain, showing the traces of the war.
