UN Memorial Cemetery in Korea
유엔기념공원
The only United Nations cemetery in the world, holding the war dead of the countries that fought in the Korean War. For a visitor from one of those countries it is the clearest reason to be in Busan. It is a cemetery rather than a sight, and it closes an hour earlier in winter.
