The Bridge of Freedom is a historic bridge located at Imjingak, near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). It was built at the end of the Korean War and used by prisoners of war (POWs) returning from North Korea to the South. For many, crossing this bridge symbolized their return to freedom—this is how the bridge got its name. Today, the bridge is no longer in use for crossing, but it remains an important historical landmark. It is surrounded by barbed wire fences covered with colorful ribbons and messages of hope, written by visitors wishing for peace and reunification. The Bridge of Freedom stands as a powerful symbol of the pain of division, as well as the hope for a unified Korea.

5 min

Mangbaedan is a memorial altar located at Imjingak, near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). It was built for people who were separated from their families during the Korean War. Since many could not return to their hometowns in North Korea, they come to Mangbaedan to bow, pray, and honor their ancestors. The name “Mangbaedan” means “a place to bow while looking toward the north.” On special holidays like Lunar New Year and Chuseok, many visitors perform traditional rites here, expressing their longing for family reunification. Today, it stands as a powerful symbol of separation, remembrance, and hope for peace.

The Civilian Control Zone (CCZ) in Paju is a restricted area located just south of the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). It was established after the Korean War to ensure security near the border. Unlike the DMZ, civilians are allowed to live and work in this zone, but access is strictly controlled by the military. Visitors entering the CCZ must pass through checkpoints and are usually required to join authorized tours. Photography and movement can be limited depending on security rules. Interestingly, because human activity is restricted, the area has become an important ecological zone with well-preserved nature and wildlife. At the same time, it remains a powerful reminder of the ongoing division of Korea and the need for peace.

The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a heavily guarded border that separates South Korea and North Korea. It was established after the Korean War ended in 1953. Despite its name, it is actually one of the most militarized borders in the world.

The Third Tunnel of Aggression is a famous historical site located in Paju, near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). It was secretly built by North Korea in the 1970s and discovered in 1978. The tunnel was designed as a military infiltration route, capable of moving up to 30,000 soldiers per hour into South Korea. The tunnel is about 1.6 km long, around 2 meters high and wide, and lies about 70 meters underground. After its discovery, South Korea blocked the tunnel with concrete barriers to prevent any possible invasion. Today, visitors can enter the tunnel as part of a guided DMZ tour. You can walk down a steep passage and explore part of the tunnel (about 250 meters), wearing a helmet because the ceiling is quite low. The Third Tunnel is a powerful reminder of the tension between North and South Korea, and it helps visitors better understand the history and reality of the Korean Peninsula.

Dora Observatory is a viewpoint located in Paju, near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). From here, visitors can look directly into North Korea.

It was built to allow civilians and tourists to safely observe the divided peninsula and better understand the reality of Korea’s separation since the Korean War. Dora Observatory is both an educational and emotional place—it offers a rare glimpse into North Korea while also reminding visitors of the ongoing division and the hope for reunification.
