Fascinating place near Yongsan which commemorates the war history of the country.
War memorial of Korea in yongsan gu iteawon.. there is also a playground, musium.You can also see the namsan tower.
Had an awesome time seeing some of descendants of the 10th BCT PEFTOK. Greatly appreciated the official and some staff of the museum, friendly and accomodating. Still a clean, environment friendly place. Ambience is still impressively nice, sterile. Thank you
Locate almost in the heart of city it is a place full of historical accounts of Korean War
Place is recommended to be visited by all those who have interest in Korean war of 1950
