DMZ(Demilitarized Zone) is the buffer zone to prevent military conflict.
Usually the public is not permitted in this zone, so an army will check your identification.
DMZ in Korea which is the only divided country in the world is the place which you can see North Korea.
DMZ This is perhaps one of the most unusual tourist destinations in the world. The DMZ was created by the Korean Armistice Agreements, which was singed on July 27, 1953. The Armistice created a 155-mile long military demarcation line(MDL) with a 2-kilometer wide
demilitarized zone on each side of it(for a total width of 4kilometers). It has been a half-century since Korea was divided and exchanges between the North and the South were stopped at the
DMZ.
Imjingak Park Imjin-Gak is located about 50 kilometers northwest of
Seoul. It’s about a 40-minute drive north on Freedom Road. Every New Year’s Days, there is a joint memorial service to comfort the 10million South Koreans separated from their families in North
Korea. The kyung-Ui Railroad, which will connect South and North Korea when completed, passes through
Imgin-Gak Park. Therefore, one may feel the pain of separation while simultaneously feeling the hopes for reconciliation.
Freedom Bridge The only bridge crossing Imjin River and also the only one bridge between South and North
Korea. The history says Since about 13,000 war captives crossed the bridge crying Hurrah for freedom, which gave bridge its name, “the bridge of freedom’. It was originally the Kyoungui railway bridge, and reconstructed to the road bridge later.
The 3rd Tunnel The North
Korean Tunnel, one and half hours drive from Seoul, was designed to make a surprise attack on Seoul. The visit is a real eye-opening experience and it will leave you with a dramatic sense of the tremendous tragedy of separated families, the division of the peninsular and the hopes for tragedy of separated families, the division of the peninsular and hopes for reunification.
Dorasan Station On the inter-Korean Summit of June 2000, two Korean leaders reached an agreement to restore the cross-border railway connecting Seoul and Shinuiju, Known as the “kyongui Line’. Construction to reconnect the reil way between Seoul and Shinuiju commenced in September 2000.
Dorasan station, the northernmost station in South Korea, has planned to connect the Kyoungui sun(line) and it will be linked to the European continent via the siverian Railway
