WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park
Imjingak, a symbol of Korean reunification desire, is a unique theme park featuring rides alongside barbed wire fences. It houses historical relics like the Freedom Bridge, used by 13,000 POWs for freedom, and a steam locomotive smokestack from the Korean War, abandoned for 55 years.
2.
Mangbaedan Bridge on Imjingang River, crossed by 13,000 POWs in 1953 during the Korean War, symbolizes their "return to freedom."
3. DMZ
Korea's DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a military demarcation zone between North and South Korea, where military activities are prohibited. It remains a significant symbol of division on the Korean Peninsula since the Korean War.
4. The Third Tunnel
The DMZ tour's highlight includes exploring a North Korean tunnel, possibly for military purposes, with the 3rd tunnel extending 435 meters into South Korea. Visitors can also watch a documentary, view Korean War relics, and learn about the tunnel's discovery.
5. Dora Observatory
Dora Observatory provides a close-up view of North Korea, including Gaeseong City and the Gaeseong Industrial Complex. Visitors can also see a fake North Korean border village called "Propaganda Village," where lights are manipulated to create the illusion of activity.
6. Imjingak Pyeonghoa-Nuri Park

7. Gamaksan Chulleong Bridge
[OPTION] The Gamaksan Chulleong Bridge, once Korea's longest suspension bridge at 220 meters, offers stunning views over Silmari Valley. Opened in 2016, it's a popular spot for its scenic beauty and thrilling experience, enhancing the hiking journey to Gamaksan Mountain.

I personally liked the monuments and background of each introduced at Imjingak most, as well as the museum at the 3rd Tunnel. Dora Observatory was quite nice as well, especially being able to view the different sites talked about through the binoculars

Our guide was great. Bus was comfortable. Wish we had more time to explore the Imingjak (first stop) tour and could skip the Ginseng seller stop at the end. Otherwise it was only the fog and rain that killed the views!

Walking down tunnel 3 is quite the workout!! It also helps if you’re not tall! Very interesting experience.

We did not get to see the blue houses, our main aim was to see that area and it was not possible. The long wait in a bus to get access to the tunnels is unbeareable, incosiderate to have people sitting in a bus for 5 to 6 hours to get the access. There are many things that could be improve on the tour.

The conflict between North and South Korea was widely covered in the news. Irene, my tour guide, taught me a ton of useful facts. I want to learn more about the background of the Korean War. Enjoyed me much on this vacation.
