DMZ At the end of the Korean War in 1953, an armistice was signed by North and South Korea which resulted in the Demilitarized Zone, a 4 km-wide, 240 km-long border that has since scarred the Korean peninsula, dividing the North and South into two independent countries. Lined on both sides with tank traps, landmines, barbed wires on high fences and various other obstacles, it is the heaviest guarded border in the world. Visiting this place can have an unsettling effect, especially when it’s weighed heavy with symbolism. Your guided tour will begin at Imjingak Park situated 7 km from the Demarcation Line. The Park features monumental relics and sorrows from the Korean War and is dedicated to the 10 million Koreans who were separated from their friends and families. Also here is the Freedom Bridge connecting North to South where several South Koreans marched into their mother country from the North after the signing of the armistice. Pass by the Unification Village and enter the DMZ Theatre and Exhibition Hall where you can watch videos explaining the various tunnels that run below the DMZ and general history of the war and division of Korea. An interesting aspect of DMZ will be your tour of the Third Infiltration Tunnel which was dug by the North Koreans in their attempt to infiltrate South Korea and launch a surprise attack. Walking along the 265m stretch of this 73m-deep tunnel, you’d be surprised by how often your head bumps the low-lying roof. After the tunnel, you will head to the Dorasan Observatory. This is the part of South Korea that is the closest to the North. From here, one can peer into binoculars to catch a rare glimpse of North Korea in all its reclusiveness. Nearby is the Dorasan Station which is a symbol of hope for the reunification of Korea. Built in 2002, this modern station is ready and waiting to run on the day the two Koreas finally settle their differences and come together as one.

About DMZ

The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that divides North and South Korea is much more than a strip of land filled with military installations and fortifications. It is a place where the historical tension between two nations is palpable, yet, paradoxically, it has become a zone of peace and biodiversity, untouched by the hands of modern development for decades. Visitors to the DMZ can expect a mixture of poignant historical insights, unique cultural experiences, and the chance to observe wildlife in one of the most untouched natural reserves in Asia. The JSA (Joint Security Area) in Panmunjom allows visitors to physically stand in both countries, offering a tangible sense of the division and ongoing hope for reconciliation. The area surrounding the DMZ is also home to several significant cultural landmarks, including ancient temples and monuments dedicated to peace and reunification.

Travel Tips for DMZ

Traveling to the DMZ requires preparation and understanding of both practicalities and the sensitivities surrounding this unique destination. Firstly, joining a guided tour is mandatory; independent visits are not permitted for security reasons. Tours often depart from Seoul and can be booked in advance through various agencies. It's crucial to bring your passport on the day of the tour, as it will be checked. Dress code guidelines advise against torn jeans, shorts, and sandals. Photography is generally allowed but can be restricted in certain areas; always follow the guidance of your tour guide. Additionally, understanding the profound history and current tensions requires respectful behavior and sensitivity from visitors. Nearby attractions include the Third Infiltration Tunnel, Dora Observatory, and the Peace Village. Incorporating these into your DMZ visit can enrich your understanding of the area's complex dynamics.
