Address

93 UN Pyeonghwa-ro, Nam-gu, Busan

About 2,300 UN soldiers killed in the Korean War rest here, in the only cemetery in the world run by the UN itself. Identical headstones stand in neat rows across a wide lawn. A memorial hall near the entrance tells the story of the 22 participating nations. Double cherry blossoms line the paths in April, but this is a place of remembrance, so walk quietly. Right in the middle of the city, it is strangely still.
