[2025 Paju-si ] Travel Guide for Imjingak Park (Updated May)

#hikingtrails #100WaysOfTravel Come hike with me to Imjingak Park and come to this wonderful city in Gyeonggi province. It is the last places of interests destination before entering DMZ. This park is created to commemorate the history and culture of both North and South Korea. This area is huge and only a small area has been dedicated to host all the monuments so if you want to skip this memorial park in your hiking trail is ok too. Many locals and tourists will alight here to visit these monuments and you always can see them resting inside the sheltered area and enjoying the elevated views. #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

#hikingtrails #100WaysOfTravel Come hike with me to Paju Train station and come to this wonderful city in Gyeonggi province. This station has been replicated as part of the monuments and has become a hiking and visiting destination within the park of Imjingak Park. Visitors can enter here and hike up the area or use transport and park at the nearest car park. This is the gateway to DMZ if you are part of the day tour. It is a great hiking trail as you can visit and explore the monuments along the way and there are plenty of rest stop facilities. Do check the weather and air quality before setting out. #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

#aprilblooms Here at Imjingak Park, we see the steam locomotive from the Korean War as well other remnants from back then. We also witness The colorful ribbons hung on the fence which are prayer ribbons that offer wishes for the reunification of South and North Korea. People still write their wishes on these ribbons and hang them here, most wishes are for freedom. It is quite a solemn place and we looked around the area and read and heard the stories about the history of this place. Truly as must visit👍 #xmastrip #myhiddengems #summervacation #freehotelstay #familytrip #localguides #manila #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #asia #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip #travel #naturalwonders #couplestrip #thingstodo #seoul #hongkong #springwander #southkorea

#aprilblooms Soulful Seoul Our first atop in our DMZ tour is the Imjingak Park, located near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). It serves as a poignant symbol of peace and reconciliation between North and South Korea. Established in 1972, the park features a variety of memorials, including the Freedom Bridge, which was used by prisoners of war returning home. Visitors can also see the Mangbaedan altar, where families separated by the division of Korea once held ceremonies to honor their ancestors. The park offers stunning views of the DMZ and the North Korean landscape, making it a popular destination for tourists and a site for reflection on the ongoing tensions in the region. Additionally, Imjingak Park is known for its vibrant flower gardens and cultural events, fostering a spirit of hope amidst historical conflict. A must visit👍 #xmastrip #myhiddengems #summervacation #freehotelstay #familytrip #localguides #manila #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #asia #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip #travel #naturalwonders #couplestrip #thingstodo #seoul #hongkong #springwander #southkorea
