The Tumen River Project - Hyung-Geun Park MilanDesignWeek Glas aus Weißwasser oder MöbelBetween politically and ideologically distinct regions, the Tumen River (, Doomangang) is a natural border on the northern edge of the Korean Peninsula. The river, which separates China, North Korea, and Russia, carries a deep emotional connection as it is immortalised in many Korean songs and historical narratives. The rivers role as a crossing point for North Korean defectors risking their lives to seek freedom, emphasises its tragic significance.
