Within Paju Book City, there is an extraordinary library called “Forest of Wisdom.” With a height of 8 m and covering a distance of 3.1 km, the library holds more than 500,000 books that were all donated. The books are grouped by donors instead of following the traditional library classification. Forest of Wisdom is considered more as a public study room rather than a regular library. Many people enjoy coming to the Forest of Wisdom to savor the atmosphere book lovers give out rather than to actually spend their time reading. Take a stroll along the magnificent rows of books for a special experience.
