WAR MEMORIAL OF KOREA

War Memorial of Korea is located in Yongsan-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, South Korea. It


opened in 1994 on the former site of the army headquarters to exhibit and memorialize
the military history of Korea. The memorial building has six indoor exhibition rooms and an
outdoor exhibition centre displaying war memorabilia and military equipment. The history is
The War Memorial was built to commemorate actors and victims in the wars which led to the
modern nation state. The museum also has the purpose of educating future generations by
collecting, preserving, and exhibiting various historical relics and records related to the many
wars fought in the country from a South Korean perspective

Ggotji Beach

Located four kilometers southwest from Anmyeon-eup, this cream-colored beach is the ideal
place to go for a drive and watch the sun sink into the ocean between two large rock
formations known as the Granny Rock and the Grandpa Rock.Legend has it that the wife of a
base commanding officer in the Shilla Dynasty became the Granny Rock when she died after
waiting faithfully for her husband.

Gwang-An Bridge

Also known as the Diamond Bridge, this two-story bridge connects Suyeong-gu and
Haeundae-gu and offers an astonishing view of mountains, sandy beaches, hills and city
lights. Kwang-An Bridge is not for pedestrians, but anyone can enjoy the spectacular night
view of the bridge from afar; its state-of-the-art lighting system allows an exterior lighting of
over 100,000 colors. The second longest bridge in the country, stretching over 7 km, the bridge,
however, became famous not because of its considerable length and characteristics of
suspended structures. The secret of the popularity of this bridge is the lighting that attracts the
visitors at night. The bridge itself was built in 2003 by the famous company Daewoo and LED
lighting project for the bridge has been introduced in 2013. More than 16,000 LEDs are used to
illuminate the Korean miracle. After the completion of the replacement of lighting on the bridge
light shows started to perform, first for 5 minutes and on certain days of the week. These shows
have become so popular that the bridge has become a tourist attraction number one in Pusan
and one of the most popular destinations in all of South Korea!

It is placed at Suyeong-gu, Busan


Kyeong-Wha Station, Jinhae

This small whistle-stop bustles with tourists and amateur photographers every spring. Cherry
blossoms rain down on the train track and countless shutters click madly away as the train
approaches the station under the cherry blossom tunnel. The cherry blossom road at Yeojwa
stream, (number 17 on this list) is also nearby for those who want more photo-ops.

Halla Mountain

This fairy-tale sight of snowflakes and icicles covering tree branches on Halla Mountain were the
inspiration for the Halla Snow Festival that was held late January/early February every
year.Unfortunately, the festival was halted a few years ago because whenever they set a date it would
rain and people would get mad.But the snow-covered trees are still there, and you are welcome to go
sledding, snow rafting and ice sliding on your own.

Chunwang Peak, Jiri Mountain

At 1,915 meters, Chunwang Peak on Jiri Mountain is the second highest peak in South Korea
and the beloved conquest of many a Korean mountain climber. The national park on Jiri
Mountain stretches over five cities and three provinces, and is home to quietly dazzling flora
and fauna as well as seven national treasures and 26 treasures.Many tread the trail to
Chunwang Peak to watch the sun rise, some simply to enjoy the view from the top, and others
for the pleasure of breathing in the crisp, clean mountain air and drinking the brain freeze-
inducing spring water of Chunwang Spring, which is located just 300 meters below
Chunwang Peak.

Yeojwa Stream

The fifth item on this list already touched on the festival of cherry blossoms in Jinhae, but the
cherry blossom road at Yeojwa Stream is so strikingly beautiful that it deserves another
mention (and another photo).Lovers visit this site to cross the "Romance Bridge", which has
been used as a shooting location for "Romance," a drama starring Kim Ha-nul and Kim Jae-
won.Bloggers say that these romantic blossoms can be most appreciated at night, when there
are fewer tourists and the pale pink flowers glow against the dark sky.
