Freedom Bridge is a historic bridge located in Imjingak, built after the Korean War. It was used by prisoners of war returning to South Korea during the armistice period. The name “Freedom Bridge” reflects their return from captivity. Today, the bridge remains as a symbol of the division of Korea and the events that followed the war.
-
Mangbaedan is a memorial altar built for people who were separated from their families during the Korean War. Since they could not return to their hometowns in North Korea, they used this site to bow toward their ancestral homes. It is still visited, especially during traditional holidays, by those wishing to honor their families.
-
The Third TunnelYou arrive at the Third Tunnel, the representative infiltration tunnel in South Korea. There are four invading tunnels in South Korea, and this one is the most popular place among them. It is 1635 m long and height and wide are about 2m respectively. As it is located 73 m underground, it takes about 20 minutes for tourists to get near the border. Safety helmets are required because the slopes are steep and there are many stones around the tunnel.
-
Dora ObservatoryDora Observatory is located on top of Dorasan mountain in the DMZ area. It is about five minutes away from the bus parking lot. Inside the building, there is a large window and you can look down on North Korean territory. The area includes the Kaesong Industrial Complex, a few statues of dictators, JSA, the border between the two Koreas, a fake village and guard posts. Before you arrive at the observatory, a tour guide will explain the North Korean area in detail.

Tongilchon Village is the last place on the DMZ Tour and the largest one in the DMZ area. It was created for international propaganda with government support in the 1970s. In order to create the village, the government referred to the Israeli city of Kibbutz. It currently has about 400 residents and most of them are engaged in agriculture.
