  • Imjingak is a representative peace tourism site in South Korea where the tragedy of the Korean War that broke out on June 25, 1950 and the subsequent national conflict remain. It is a place where you can learn the value of peace while looking at the painful traces of war. There are various war memorials such as the Imjingang District War Memorial and the US Military Participation Memorial, and a train that ran to Sinuiju, the northernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula before the division of the North and South, stops here and is on display. There used to be two Imjin Bridges side by side, but one was destroyed during the war, and only the bridge piers remain, showing the traces of the war. There is also a Mangbaedan in Imjingak, which is a place where displaced people whose hometowns are north of the Military Demarcation Line pay their respects to their parents and grandparents in the North every year on New Year's Day and Chuseok or when they miss their families. It is a place where the pain of separated families desperately searching for their families whose lives and deaths are unknown is felt. This is a unification security tourism site that recalls the pain of division and hopes for unification, and is visited by millions of domestic and foreign tourists every year. There are various war relics scattered around, and with the addition of new facilities such as the exhibition hall, Pyeonghwa Nuri, Imjingak Peace Gondola, Korean War Abductee Memorial Hall, and children's play facilities, it has become a large-scale tourist site of 140,000 pyeong.
  • Dorasan Observatory was newly built as a replacement for the closure of Songaksan OP, and is a place where you can look at life in North Korea. Dozens of telescopes are installed, so you can look at Songhaksan, the statue of Kim Il-sung, Gijong-dong, the outskirts of Gaeseong City, Geumamgol (cooperative farm), etc. through telescopes, and on a clear day, you can even see the Gaeseong Industrial Complex. Since Dorasan Observatory is located within the civilian control zone, entry by general passenger vehicles is restricted. It is convenient to use the DMZ tour in conjunction with the DMZ tour. In addition, the observatory has auxiliary facilities such as 500 seats, a VIP room, a situation room, and a car park (for 30-40 cars), and it was opened to the public in January 1987. The Dorasan Observatory, which was renovated in October 2018, is a famous tourist attraction visited by more than 800,000 people annually, including displaced people and foreign tourists who come to see the site of the division between the North and South. Also, you must bring your ID card to visit the civilian control zone, so don't forget to bring it.

The Third Tunnel was discovered on October 17, 1978, inside the Demilitarised Zone, based on intelligence from a North Korean defector who was working on a tunnel. It is estimated to be 1.2㎞ west of the Military Demarcation Line, and is located approximately 1.6㎞ south by excavating an average of 73m of rock layer underground. With a width of 2m and a height of 2m, it is an arch-shaped structure that can move 30,000 troops per hour. It is only 52km from Seoul, so it is similar in size to other tunnels, but it is evaluated to be much more threatening in terms of infiltration into Seoul. The total length of the tunnel is 1,635m, but only 265m is open to the public for the safety of tourists, and three concrete barriers have been installed on the North Korean side to completely block intrusion from North Korea. The Third Tunnel has facilities such as a DMZ video theatre, exhibition hall, symbolic sculptures, and a souvenir shop, providing tourists with various things to see. In addition, you can enter the tunnel in 15 minutes by using the monorail that can accommodate 45 people. Anyone with an ID can tour the Third Tunnel, and it is open six days a week (closed on Mondays and public holidays) from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM for a fee. However, since it is located in a civilian control area, entry by passenger vehicles is restricted, so if you wish to tour it, you must participate in the ‘DMZ Security Linked Tour’ programme at the Imjingak car park.

This is also because it is a place where people from countries that participated in the Korean War, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, can feel deeply moved because it has a facility that commemorates and pays tribute to each and every one of the veterans along with large flags of the countries that participated in the Korean War as part of the United Nations forces in 1950, and monuments for each of them. It is a must-visit place for foreign veterans or their descendants visiting Korea.
