IMJINGAK PARK

Ever wondered what it's like to stand at the edge of the world's most heavily fortified border? This tour takes you deep into the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a buffer zone separating North and South Korea, for a look at history frozen in time. Echoes of War and Whispers of Hope Your first stop is Imjingak Park, a place where the weight of history hangs heavy. Here, you'll see the bullet-scarred Freedom Bridge, a poignant reminder of the 1000s of prisoners of war who walked to freedom across its span in 1953. Next, venture 73 meters underground into the Third Infiltration Tunnel. This secret passage, stretching over 1.6 km long, was discovered in 1978 and stands as a testament to the ongoing tensions between the two Koreas. Head to the Dora Observatory, where you can peer across the border using powerful telescopes. You'll see Kijong-dong, a surreal "Propaganda Village" in North Korea, complete with a massive 160-meter flagpole and meticulously crafted facades hiding empty buildings. Stop at the Unification Village, a unique farming community located within the DMZ. Here, you can shop for intriguing souvenirs like North Korean liquor and DMZ memorabilia, knowing that your purchases contribute to a good cause – the education of North Korean defectors
