Water from Namsan, Inwangsan and Bugaksan mountains reach the centre of Seoul here before exiting into the Han River. In 1955 it was filled in with earth and covered with a road before being restored to the modern version you see today.

The Joint Security Area (JSA) or (incorrectly) Panmunjeom, is the only portion of the Korean Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) where South and North Korean forces stand face-to-face. The area is used by the two Koreas for diplomatic engagements and, until March 1991, was also the site of military negotiations between North Korea and the United Nations Command (UNC).
