Join us for a half day tour of the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea.
Itinerary: Hotel → Imjingak Park → The Bridge of Freedom → The 3rd Infiltration Tunnel → DMZ Theater & Exhibition Hall → Dora Observatory → Dorasan Station → Pass by the Unification Village → Drop off at City Hall or Itaewon (13:20PM)
The DMZ
The armistice that put a halt to the Korean War (1950-1953) divided the Korean Peninsula into South and North Korea. The two sides are separated by the Korean Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, running along the 38th parallel north. The DMZ is also a unique natural ecosystem, one that is globally acknowledged for its ecological value.
Imjingak
This park was built to console the refugees who left North Korea during the Korean War. At the park are the following attractions; Mangbaedan, an altar set up for refugees to bow in the direction of their ancestral graveyards; Freedom bridge, which was built to free 12,773 prisoners in 1953; Unification pond, which is in the shape of the Korean Peninsula; and the Peace bell.
The 3rd Tunnel
The third tunnel was discovered in October 1978, and is evidently designed for an invasion of the south.
Dora Observatory
The Unification Observatory is located on Odu mountain, in an area of superb scenic beauty with Han river and Imjin river. It was opened on September 8, 1992.
Dorasan Station
Dorasan Station is the northernmost station of South Korea, which is 700m distant from the southern boundary line of DMZ, the civil control zone. Since US president Bush visited Dorasan Station on February 20, 2002, it has come into spotlight internationally.
