Imjingak Park is home to many monuments related to the Korean War originally built with the unification of the people of North and South Korea in mind. The site includes the Bell of Peace, a fence of prayer ribbons, a rusted train and the Bridge of No Return where prisoners of war were exchanged.
A symbolic bridge built in 1998, the bridge is also a symbol of the hope for unification. Please have your passport ready for the ID check.
Watch a video about the history of the Korean War and the infiltration tunnels at the DMZ Theater and Exhibition Hall. Find artifacts from the war including letters, weapons and various objects collected from the DMZ. See a model of the JSA.
Explore the most infamous of the infiltration tunnels that was discovered in October 1978. The tunnel was believed to have been dug by North Korean forces for invasion. At only 44 kilometers from Seoul, it is the closest tunnel to the capital city.
Peer from the binoculars to see the scenery of North Korea from this observation post. See the so-called Propaganda Village with one of the world's tallest flagpole, the city of Kaesong and the Kaesong Industrial Region.
Visit the northernmost train station in South Korea, which serves as a terminus for a commuter train line. It lies about 700 meters from the DMZ. Make sure to find the sign in the station which reads “Not the last station from the South, But the first station toward the North."
After an intense tour of historic and current events, visit either the pine essential oil or ginseng center and learn about the benefits of these Korean-made products.

Unique, a must have tour in South Korea, Seoul.
A good overview of the 20th century, living history, makes it a unique experience.
Not too long, not too short, informative, good pace, includes some walking in a tunnel.
Lots of Waiting and not much info.
Started off smooth an had to wait for someone for 45 mins before departing. The guide was too busy collecting fees and I feel he didn’t have the opportunity to explain more. He did a nice job singing, but on the way back...
moreThe most surprising journey of my Life!!
All the visits were ok, spécial l'y in the third tunnel however the way back was a little difficult.
I think tant the visit, at the end, of the amethysts fabric was not rallye necessary.
