JSA, also known as Panmunjom, is where the ceasefire agreement was signed. You can take photos here, with the opponent's soldiers with live ammunition as the background, and experience the blend of excitement and history. Next, enter the DMZ.

It's a cafe inside the 38th parallel rest area near the Yangyang beach. The owner personally wrote it in his own handwriting. It's right in front of the beach, so you can heal while looking at the ocean view. #Emotional cafe

An area#dmzexperience #dmzexploration #dmztour in South Korea worth visiting whether or not you love history or military buff.

In this era of great turmoil, there is a land that has been rated as one of the most dangerous places in the world. According to a local friend, today's trip has been approved by the Ministry of National Defense, and only then were we allowed to visit the Imjin River and the Uijeongbu Mountain Observatory near the 38th Parallel. Just under 2 kilometers away, the other country is visible, with its mysterious and unfamiliar landscape unfolding before our eyes. Student Xiao Wu looks solemn, standing on the Uijeongbu Mountain Observatory, peering through a high-powered telescope at the distant border line, as if he could feel the oppression and tension. In this 2-kilometer demilitarized zone, a special aura pervades, causing one's heart to race with both trepidation and awe. At this moment, the world seems to be divided into two extremes, where prosperity and silence meet at the confluence of the Imjin River, creating a unique picture. Stepping into the memorial hall, what reaches the ears is a beautiful and moving piano melody. The background image of the musical notes and a segment of barbed wire used for display are juxtaposed, creating a stark contrast between the peaceful piano movement and the forbidden wire mesh. The special atmosphere echoing in the air can be deeply appreciated only by those who have lived through that time. The exhibits and arrangements constantly remind people of a story about peace and hope. In this tense region, music becomes a balm, allowing people to forget the cruelty of war and feel the deep longing for peace in their hearts. Student Xiao Wu, who has been studying classical guitar since childhood, looks thoughtful as he observes the piano and notes blending into a harmonious scene, saying that the exhibits here are indeed telling us that music is always a symbol of peace. Indeed, music transcends national borders, languages, and cultures, connecting people's souls and conveying emotions. It also reminds us to cherish the peace and tranquility of the present. Standing by the Imjin River, looking across at that mysterious and unfamiliar land, what we see is not just opposition and division, but also a beautiful aspiration for peace and the future. Inside the 'Peace Bell Pavilion' hangs a huge peace bell, which is said to have been agreed upon by both sides during a time of amicable relations, to be rung together at the moment peace arrives, symbolizing 'unity and peace.' However, years have passed, and although the bell and the pavilion have been built for many years, they have yet to fulfill this mission. From this, in one of the world's most dangerous places, we seem to be able to appreciate the preciousness and value of peace even more. History is a mirror, and as tourists and music practitioners, we can only wish for the eternal beauty of music, and for everyone to enjoy peace and happiness together.
