A Glimpse into History at the Korean DMZ

#koreatrip The DMZ, located on the border between North and South Korea, is one of the most unique and politically significant places to visit in the world. This heavily fortified border has become a symbol of the division between the two Koreas since the Korean War. Visitors can tour the Joint Security Area (JSA) at Panmunjom, where North and South Korean soldiers stand face-to-face. The tension is palpable, but the experience is profoundly educational. Key attractions include the Third Infiltration Tunnel, Dorasan Observatory, and the DMZ Museum. A visit to the DMZ is a sobering reminder of Korea’s past but also a hopeful testament to the possibilities of peace and reconciliation.
