Paju
Paju (Korean: 파주; Korean pronunciation: [pʰɐ.d͡ʑu.]) is a city in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. Paju was made a city in 1997; it had previously been a county (gun).
The city area of Paju is 672.78 km2 (259.76 sq mi), and it is located just south of Panmunjeom on the 38th parallel. In 2024, the population of Paju was over 501,000. To defend the South Korean capital, Seoul, many U.S. and South Korean Army bases are set up in the area. In 2002, the northernmost South Korean railway station, Dorasan, was opened on the Gyeongui Line.[citation needed] North Korean territory and the city Kaesong can be seen from Paju's mountain Dorasan.
Paju has seen steady residential growth due to its proximity to Seoul. The city is connected to Seoul via the Gyeongui–Jungang Line and several express bus routes, with travel times to central Seoul typically under an hour. These transportation links have contributed to Paju’s development as a commuter city. In addition to residential areas, Paju is home to cultural and tourism sites such as Heyri Art Valley, Paju Book City, and Imjingak Peace Park, attracting both residents and visitors. The city also hosts several large-scale retail complexes, including Shinsegae Paju Premium Outlets and Lotte Premium Outlet Paju Branch, which attract significant foot traffic from nearby regions.
The cosmos is a representative flower that grows during spring in Paju. It has very strong vitality, and symbolizes unity and harmonious life as a citizen of Paju. The flowers have different colors, including pale pink and red.[citation needed]
Ginkgos are usually planted as street trees. People can obtain high-quality wood from them.[citation needed] Also, their leaves and fruits are used as a valuable medicine.
Pigeons are meek and gentle with soft feathers that follow humans well. They symbolize the peace and security of mankind, and they mean to desire the unification of the Korean Peninsula and the well-being of citizens.[citation needed]
The badge brings the look of Paju implicitly.[clarification needed] Semiconductors, which symbolize high-tech industry, high-quality culture, and books, and life based on the shape of the rice industry, have represented the badge with the symbol Paju logo.
Paju has lowlands in the east and west.[citation needed] Many mountains are also located in eastern Paju, forming the border with Yangju. In northern Paju, mountains form the border with Goyang. Moreover, in central Paju, some lower mountains spread towards the south. The major rivers in Paju are the Imjin River and the Han River. The Imjin River flows from the northwest to the west, and the Han River flows in the southwest of Paju.[citation needed]
