About this audio guide
This guide to Imjingak Pyeonghwa Nuri Park near Seoul centers on the Bridge of Freedom, a temporary span where prisoners of war crossed the Imjin River home after the 1953 armistice. It follows the bridge's move into this garden and the ribbon-draped fence beside it, tied with messages from South Koreans to relatives stranded across the border. You'll also learn about the Mangbaedan altar, where separated families gather each New Year and Chuseok to bow toward hometowns they cannot visit.
