The Imjingak Tourist Site (임진각관광지) is a place where the sorrow caused by the Korean War, which broke out on June 25, 1950, and the subsequent national confrontation is deeply engraved. Various war memorials are located here, including the Imjin River Battlefield Monument (임진강지구 전적비) and the United States Forces Participation Monument (미국군 참전비). A train that once ran to Sinuiju (신의주), the northernmost end of the Korean Peninsula before division, now stops here and is displayed. The Imjin Railway Bridge (임진철교) originally consisted of two parallel bridges, but one was destroyed during the war, leaving only the bridge piers, which vividly show the traces of war.

There is also the Mangbaedan Altar (망배단). Mangbaedan is a place where displaced persons whose hometowns lie north of the Armistice Line come to bow in reverence toward their parents and grandparents living in the North, especially on Lunar New Year and Chuseok, or whenever they long to see their families. It is imbued with the sorrow of separated families who desperately search for loved ones whose whereabouts and survival remain unknown. This site serves as a unification and security tourism destination, reflecting on the pain of division and yearning for reunification, and it is visited each year by millions of domestic and international visitors.
