Imjin-Gak is located about 50 kilometers northwest
of Seoul. It is about a 40-minute drive north on Freedom Road (Jayu
Ro). Every Lunar New Years Day, there is a joint memorial service
to comfort the 10 million South Koreans separated from their families
in North Korea. From the Imjin-Gak Observatory, one can get a view
of North Korea. The exhibition hall displays actual jet aircraft and
tanks from the Korean War.
Imjin-Gak is located near the western end of the front line. The Kyung-Ui
Railroad, which will connect South and North Korea when completed,
passes through Imjin-Gak Park. Therefore, one may feel the pain of
separation while simultaneously feeling the hopes for reconciliation.
