Gloucester Hill Battle Monument: The Gloucester Hill Battle Monument in Paju, South Korea, honors the British Gloucestershire Regiment's heroic stand during the Battle of Imjin River in April 1951, part of the Korean War. Despite being vastly outnumbered, the regiment's defense at Hill 235, later called "Gloucester Hill," played a crucial role in delaying Chinese forces and protecting Seoul. The monument serves as a tribute to the soldiers' bravery and sacrifice and symbolizes the strong relationship between South Korea and the United Kingdom. Visitors come to reflect and pay their respects to those who fought for peace during the conflict.

Gamaksan Mountain: Gamaksan Mountain is popular for its easy-to-climb trails and beautiful scenery. It is home to a suspension bridge 150 m in length, Beomnyunsa Temple, and Ungyepokpo Falls. Paju’s city center can be seen from the summit at a glance. On clear days, one can even see the area around the Military Demarcation Line beyond Imjingang River to the north.

Gamaksan Mt. Suspension Bridge: Gamaksan is one of five great mountains of the Gyeonggi region, and according to legend, its name means a dark blue-colored rocky mountain whose rocks emanated black and blue lights at the same time. The suspension bridge located at the starting point of the Gamaksan Trail connects Seolmari Valley, which had been severed by a road, to make Gamaksan into a single mountain again. It is 150 meters long, which makes it the nation's longest bridge tower-less suspension bridge, and was constructed to form harmony with nature.
Gamaksan boasts small but beautiful valleys around Seolmacheon Stream as well as Ungyepokpo Falls where the waterfalls are nearly vertical so it is used for ice wall training in the wintertime. Gamaksan Stele sits at the top and, just underneath Janggunbong Peak lies Imkkeokjeonggul Cave where Im kkeokjeong is known to have hidden away from the pursuit of the government army. Gamaksan is close to the ceasefire line so, once you climb up to the peak, you will be able to see the Imjingang River and Songaksan Mountain in Gaesong. Fresh scents of pine trees and soil on the trails and mountain ridges attract countless climbers.

Lunch: Korean Cuisine

Majang Lake and Suspension Bridge: Majang Lake Suspension Bridge offers more than the bridge itself with amenities like benches, wildflowers, water sports, and a lakeside promenade. It's the perfect place for couples or a family day out. The bridge is surrounded by mountains and a lake, offering a scenic landscape that becomes even more spectacular at sunset. Midway through the bridge, the floor is partially made of bulletproof glass for a thrilling view below one's feet. The bridge has many noteworthy attractions in proximity such as Bogwangsa Temple, Byukchoji Gardens, and Gongneung Tourist Resort.

Walking Trails and 148 stairs: Majang Lake Walking Trails in Paju offer a serene 4.5 km route with beautiful views of the lake and surrounding forest. The trails, which take about 70-75 minutes to complete, include a popular suspension bridge that adds a sense of adventure. The paths are well-maintained, providing an accessible and peaceful walking experience for all ages. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing nature walk while taking in the scenic landscapes.
