Basic Information

Overview

MANG-U History & Culture Park was designated as a cemetery during the Japanese colonial era and was well known as the Manguri Public Cemetery. In 1997, a memorial monument was created around the graves of 15 great men, including independence activists and literary figures, and name was changed to Manguri Park in 1998.
