"GANGJEONG GRAND PEACE MARCH"

[8.04] Grand March ended its finale with a great success...
 

It was around 3pm that the two teams joined by the Peace Cruise team who came from the nationwide(*) could finally meet in the Jeju City.

 
It was not precedent that such long lines of parade have ever occurred in the Jeju City and Island. The media reported that about 2,000 people marched the city on the day but when people gathered in the Tapdong square for the evening peace concert, more and more people joined. The event operation team estimated that about 3,500 people filled the square...

Any of the photos cannot really describe the energy and heat... The people had walked about 290km (East team: 147km, West team 140 km) for five nights six days, breaking through strong sun light and storm... (report by Choi Sung-hee)
