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, and a memorial hall at the entrance tells the story of the 22 participating nations. The double cherry blossoms in April line the paths, but this is a place of remembrance, so walk quietly. It is calm even in the middle of the city.
