Paju
Paju sits at South Korea's northern edge, where publishing-house libraries and artist studios in Heyri Art Village sit only a short drive from the tense, fenced-off Demilitarized Zone. It's a city of striking contrasts — quiet riverside parks and war memorials like Imjingak alongside outlet malls and book-town cafés.
