Ř   Imjingak Park

 

Imjingak tourist sites are the place where the Korean war was broke out on 25 June 1950 and one race has been opposed to each other. There are diverse monuments in this place; a war record monument of Imjingak district, a monument of America’s entry into the war, a memorial tower of 17 diplomatic mission died by North Korean’s bomb terror in Myanmar in 1983, and a monument for people in Kimpo Airport bomb accident in 1987. Train used to travel to Sinuiju, where is located in the north end of the country, before the partition of the Korean Peninsula.

Ř   The 3rd Tunnel

 

Only 44 kilometers or, less than an hour's drive, from Seoul, the third tunnel was discovered in October 1978. Almost identical in structure to Tunnel II, the 1.635 kilometer-long tunnel, 1.95 meters high and 2.1 meters wide, penetrates 435 meters south of the Military Demarcation Line at a point only 4 kilometers south of the Truce Village of Panmunjom. It runs through bedrock at a depth of about 73 meters below ground. Capable of moving a full division per hour, plus their weapons, it is evidently designed for a surprise attack on Seoul. 

 

Ř   Dora Observatory

 

It is the northernmost observatory of South Korea from which visitors can view a part of North Korean life through a telescope, such as Mt. Songaksan in Gaeseong, Kim II-seong statue, Gijeong-dong, the outskirts of Gaeseong-si, Train smokestack at Jangdan station, and Geumamgol (collective farm). This has 304 sq. ft. and some facilities; 500 capacity, VIP Room, control office, 30 to 40 capacity parking lot. It opened to the public in Jan. 1987 From Dora Observatory, tourists can view the North Korean propaganda village in the DMZ and as far north as the city of Gaeseong. 

 

Ř  Dorasan Station

 

52 years of anticipation, waiting for the day when the two countries will be united once again. Dorasan station, the northernmost station in South Korea, has planned to connect the Gyongueisun(Line) and it will be linked to the European continent via the Siberian Railway.
