- Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park - Exploring the forefront of Korean War tourism
The Bridge of Freedom, a poignant symbol of the Korean War’s tragedies, is a temporary structure without notable architectural features but holds importance as a modern heritage site representing the Cold War and the concept of “return to freedom.”
The Steam Locomotive at Jangdan Station, riddled with 1,020 bullet holes resembling a honeycomb, and the torn and crumpled exterior of the firebox, stands as a painful reminder of the conflict between compatriots.
Magbaedan Altar, located opposite Imjingak, is renowned as a place where North Koreans perform ancestral rites by bowing towards their hometown every New Year’s Day and Thanksgiving Day.
- DMZ - Watching a video about the Korean War at the DMZ theater and visiting the DMZ exhibition hall to view relics and records related to the Korean War and gain general information about the DMZ.
- Dora Observatory - Visiting the observatory that offers scenic views across the Demilitarized Zone, including North Korean territory, through binoculars.
Observe the Propaganda Village in the North, the Jamming Tower that blocks signals from South Korea, the Gaesung Industrial Complex, and more.
- The Third Tunnel - Exploring the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel dug by North Koreans into the South.
Examine the evidence that this tunnel was intended for an invasion of the South:
- The tunnel slopes approximately 0.003 degrees towards the North, causing water to drain in that direction.
- Dynamite holes in the walls, meant to explode base rock, face South.
- Although coal was never found in this area, traces were left on the rock walls to disguise the tunnel as an abandoned coal mine.
- The War Memorial of Korea - Visiting the War Memorial of Korea to explore records and exhibits related to Korea’s long history and the Korean War.
