A place for remembrance
No Gun Ri Peace Park in Yeongdong commemorates civilians who died during the 1950 No Gun Ri incident in the Korean War. A visit invites reflection on history, human rights and peace rather than conventional sightseeing.
Begin indoors, then walk outside
Consider reading the historical context inside the Peace Memorial Hall before moving to the memorial tower and sculpture park. These are different facilities within the same complex, and they do not share all their opening rules. Please respect mourners and other visitors in the outdoor commemorative areas.
Winter visiting hours are different
Yeongdong County lists free admission to the indoor hall. Its hours are 09:30–17:30 from March through October and 10:00–17:00 from November through February. The hall closes on Mondays, January 1 and the Seollal and Chuseok holiday periods, while it otherwise opens on public holidays. Outdoor exhibitions, the sculpture park, the memorial tower and rest areas are described as open throughout the year. Year-round access does not guarantee that every path is safe during adverse weather; follow on-site restrictions.
