Imjin-gak Resort Pictures

Imjin-gak Resort is the site of the Freedom Bridge, and for most South Koreans, it is the northernmost point they are allowed to travel. Renovations of the current bridge were completed in 1970, but piers of the original bridge can still be seen to the right of the current bridge. Only a limited number of Korean citizens are permitted to cross the Imjin River. Behind Imjin-gak restaurant is Relaxation Plaza, an open area with several important monuments and static displays of the Korean War.


The Freedom Bridge is a one lane bridge spanning the Imjin River. It was named this because 12,733 prisoners of war crossed the bridge to freedom after the Korean War	A view of Relaxation Plaza and its monuments. The Anti-communism Exhibition Hall, the white circular building in the far background, houses many displays


I'm standing in front of a South Korean Air Force aircraft flown during the Korean War now on static display.	Until Korea became divided, this train used to run from Pusan, on the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, through North Korea on to Peking, China. On display, it faces the Imjin River waiting to cross it again.
