Touring the forefront of tourism related to the Korean War The Bridge of Freedom, a symbol of the tragedies of the Korean War, is a temporary bridge with no architecturally noteworthy element but holds significance as a representative modern heritage that symbolizes the cold war through embodying the “return to freedom.” Steam Locomotive at Jangdan station, the area where the 1,020 bullets penetrated is like a honeycomb, and the exterior of the fire box is torn and crumpled.
