Learn about South Korea's History during a day trip to Demilitarized Zone

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a heavily fortified area, which separates the North and South Korea, is a symbol of division and a reminder of hope for reunification of two countries. The day tour in DMZ typically includes stops at key sites such as the Third Infiltration Tunnel, discovered in 1978 and believed to be an invasion route dug by North Korea, and the Dora Observatory, where you can peer into North Korean territory. Visitors also explore Dorasan Station, the last train stop before North Korea, and Imjingak Park, which commemorates the hopes for peace. The highlight is often a visit to Panmunjom, where you can stand near the Joint Security Area (JSA), the only spot where North and South Korean forces face each other directly. This tour offers a unique insight into the political and military complexities of the Korean Peninsula, blending history, geopolitics, and a sense of hope for future peace.
