Considering a DMZ visit, yet overwhelmed by tour formalities? Fear not, a self-guided journey is entirely feasible and remarkably informative. Start with public transportation to the poignant National Memorial of Abductees during the Korean War. Here, discover the heart-wrenching tales of Koreans abducted by North Korea, their ties to families and friends severed. Next, honor the memory of the lost at the Mangbaedan Memorial Alter, a solemn tribute to those displaced during the Korean War. Adjacent to it stands the Bridge of Freedom, a significant location where 12,000 Korean and UN prisoners of war were exchanged post-conflict. The site resonates with the echoes of history, making it a must-visit. Onwards to the Imjingak Peace Gondola. Glide across the Imjingakgang River and delve deeper into the civilian control line. Take in breathtaking panoramas from the observatory and ride back to DMZ Live. DMZ Live is an engaging educational center designed to both entertain and enlighten you about the DMZ’s rich biodiversity and history. Your journey concludes at the Odusan Unification Observatory, where you can gaze upon North Korea and marvel at the serene confluence of the Hangang and Imjingakgang Rivers. Thus concludes our self-guided tour of the DMZ, an unforgettable day of exploration and remembrance. #UnboxingKorea #KoreaAllimi #mofa #언박싱코리아 #대한민국알리미
