- Aegibong Peace Eco Park - Situated at the northern edge of Gimpo City, Aegibong Peak is approximately an hour’s drive from central Seoul. This mountain holds historical significance as it was the site of a fierce battle during the Korean War, symbolizing the division of Korea into two separate nations. It is celebrated for its breathtaking views of both North and South Korea.
The peak is also known for the poignant love story of a Pyeongyang governor and his mistress, who were separated during the Sino-Korean War in 1636. The name ‘Aegibong’ is derived from ‘Ae’ (ì• ) meaning love, ‘gi’ (기) meaning mistress, and ‘bong’ (ë´‰) meaning peak, commemorating their love. In 1968, President Park Chung Hee compared their separation to the sorrow of divided Korean families, a sentiment honored at the peak.
The observatory is used for security training and includes the Mangbaedan Altar, where North Korean expatriates conduct ancestral rites. It also features a naval war monument and seasonal lights that can be seen from North Korea.
