I love this park. You can bike, skateboard, walk or run. I lived in the neighborhood since the park was just being built. Now the trees are so big and luscious.

The only reason I visited this lake again to see the pretty hydrangeas. As you see, I visited here a bit late, the hydrangeas already burnt? by the hot 🌞. Besides the pretty hydrangeas, there are many other photo spots as well. If you plan to go here, better arrive before 12pm, otherwise, you're gonna find line of cars waiting to enter the parking lot. Even if you can enter the parking lot, you have to keep circling the parking lot until you find free space.

I visit Ilsan Lake Park in the autumn season. The place is so beautiful, peaceful, and lovely. I visit here due to Kim Namjoon post on his IG. The place is that good.
Perdina Sidika — Google review
Although this place is an artificial lake park, it seems like natural park because of lots of tree. You can enjoy this really big park in various ways such as riding a bicycle, walking and taking a rest, etc. You can also see various flowers, especially roses on Jun. This is the best place to spend time with people you love in Goyang.

Ilsan Lake park is so beautiful, I really recommend coming here especially this time (spring) as there is a flower festival. If you can try to look at it in the day and night to get a different view.
MyWorld360 — Google review
Beautiful lake park, good for walking or a picnic. You can walk around it for at least a 1.9 km session. I didn't try this time but there are water bikes available for rental, 3 people for 15,000 won. The lake houses huge fish. Theres an event hall in the park grounds, hosting a flower festival when I visited. Great for kids.

Sprawling park pairing water slides & wave pools with a snow hill & roof sledding year-round.
One Mount Water and Snow park.. we visited in spring, so just covered WaterPark..Which was absolutely Fun!!
Me, my family and friends family went here April 2015..So its long back but I though to review the places where I have been all these years.. so here I am.. So many great memories related to stay in Korea.. and One Mount is one of them...Great great customer support..welcoming staff everywhere..and great discounts for Foreign visitors..And i can say all after this my stay in US...where there is no discounts offered anywhere in such type of parks of wonderlands for Foreign visitors..so definitely it values alot!! Helmets, live jackets are provided, whatever color! It must be worn before entering the water for safety. The park is kid and adult friendly with temperature controlled spas, very fun adventurous water slides which I was initially scared of.. but after first attempt I enjoyed it fully... lot of shops, cafés, boutiques, and restaurants around.

Dorasan Station is situated at the northernmost point of South Korea's railway line, and it is hoped that one day it will connect North and South Korea when peace prevails. Although visitors can combine tours to create a full day experience, JSA tour was no longer being offered as of April 2018. Nevertheless, the DMZ tour remains available and provides an incredible yet surreal experience. The Third Tunnel of Aggression is a must-see attraction in this region.
Very modern, interesting and odd station to nowhere (so far).
Will be nice to go back when it's connected to Pyeongyang.
You can have a free stamp in the station (NOT recommended to put it in your passport)
Antonio Martín Mendieta — Google review
Dorasan Station was intended to connect the South Korean rail network to North Korea's and hopefully the rest of the Asia rail network. The station was built for international use, but because of the ongoing tensions, the huge station is mostly empty, save for some memorabilia.
You can take the DMZ train to the station or visit it as part of a tour, but there is not much to see here other than the railway tracks that go into North Korea. The DMZ train only runs once per day and you have to take it from a South Korean station.
If you're visiting as part of a tour, you will need to pay 1000 won to access the platform with the tracks. Strongly recommend you to do that as there is not much to see in the station itself.
Perhaps in the future you can take a train from here to Pyongyang.
Luke Phang — Google review
Newly built and renovated railway station artificially opened only for tourists as no regular trains stopping here. Station is planned to be used as connection point with DPRK. Nice souvenir to get the memorial stamp for 1000 won.

Last weekend I finally was able to go to DMZ tour and it was so thrilling! We went to the Tunnel, Observatory and then we went to Dorasan station which is basically will be the first train station to North Korea in case of Unification. All in all, I definitely enjoyed my first trip to DMZ 🇰🇵

This is the northernmost station in South Korea. It was rebuilt and reopened on 2002, but is not in use. It stands for the hope of reunification.

I'll never travel to Dalian without this trip planner again
The Dora Observatory is a hilltop post that provides visitors with pay binoculars to look into North Korea. From this vantage point, one can observe various sights including the North Korean propaganda village and Kaesong city. Additionally, it also offers a view of the northernmost train stop on South Korea's railway line, Dorasan Station. Some locals hope that when peace finally prevails between the two Koreas, this station will connect them once again.
Depending what you are into, this place is either very interesting or not. I thought it was great because you get to view all the propaganda with your eyes. North Korea built a fake town just for propaganda. Also there are no cars. When viewing North Korea I was able to see someone on a bike. It's crazy to think that this country is so close with so much censorship. It has really opened my eyes to this. The actual Dora Observatory is closed, but there is another right next to it. Depending where you are from and your interest this is a great visit.
TJ — Google review
The observatory shows some history between South and North Korea. However, reading up on the history between the two will enrich the visit even more.
Highly recommended to visit on days with clear skies in order to see North Korea.
Eu Ken Ng — Google review
DMZ is the one and only in the world. I booked my trip to DMZ including Dora Observatory through a travel agency. From Dora Observatory, we able to see part of North Korea namely Kaesong Industrial Park & surrounding area. We can also see the giant flag of North Korea from here. Overall, the best experience ever. So memorable.
Gabrien J. — Google review
At the DMZ between North and South Korea. from here you will see North Korea in a distance and the tall post of the N. Korean flag. My stop here was planned and I liked it. If you have few days in S Korea, make time to visit this place, the DMZ. There are several tour operators. There is a gondola ride over a river that offers a panoramic views of the area.
Berge Wassilian — Google review
Always hear about North Korea story from news outlet and the feeling of being near it and see it from a far. It is quite a different feeling. It's quite peaceful that day and hope it will stay this way for a long time to come.
Tau Wan — Google review
It was an interesting experience visiting this location. We had decent visibility that allowed us to see a long way into North Korea. We could just see some of the soldiers and citizens too. It would be nice if there were more powerful telescopes, but I guess they have to be user friendly.
The restaurant / Cafe there was good with nice hot drinks and basic but tasty food.
The key really is to have a good tour guide to make your experience valuable.
We had Moon from VIP DMZ tours. She was extremely good.
Kai Swann — Google review
The one we went is just opened about one week ago. Nice sightseeing place to go see the other side of the border. Beautiful scenery. What was said that the town on the other side is a fake town. This would be the third and final stop if you take DMZ tour package.
Khaz — Google review
Beautiful views of the DMZ. Try and make sure you go on a clear day otherwise you won't see much. The observation binoculars are at a height for 5 foot people so as a six foot man it was a bit of a pain bending over everytime I wanted look. It is as of 7/10/22 the only way to see Panmunjeon joint security area as it is closed until further notice. And you really can't see much anyway. Worth a short visit
Bill Niester — Google review
Fascinating stop in the DMZ. It feels very surreal to observe life in North Korea from the telescopes in this observatory. It is possible to see the South Korea village in the DMZ, a bit of the JSA, the propaganda village in the North Korea side and some cities and industrial complexes in North Korea. With luck, it is even possible to see people working the land in the North Korea side.
Alex Lopes — Google review
we went as part of our tour. able to use their telescope to look onto n. korea. it was okay to spot them via telescope about their daily life. our tour guide explains a lot of things to us.
Eileen Teo (ET Speaks From Home) — Google review
The DMZ as a whole is an incredible experience, but the Observatory is definitely a highlight. The weather was pretty cloudy when we went, but we could still spot most of the landmarks across the border. It was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience, seeing NK right in front of our eyes! Our guide (shout-out to Erica!) was so nice and made sure everyone had a great, fulfilling time.
Margarida Valarinho — Google review
We were picked up outside our downtown hotel opposite City Hall. Excellent full day tour visiting observatory, Freedom Park, 3rd Tunnel within the DMZ. A far better experience than we were expecting. Our guide Miel explained the recent history, i.e. the Korean War and attempts at reunification, which put our visit into context. The tour brought home how big power politics in this country shockingly overrides the lives of millions of services and civilian lives. Looking into North Korea itself and seeing people going about their lives and learning about the tunnels was fascinating. Highly recommended
Ian Ferris — Google review
Such an amazing view into North Korea. You can see the flag towers and fake cities. They provide plenty of free-to-use binoculars for peeking in. I got some pretty good shots although I could have done a lot better with a DSLR and optical zoom lens. Go visit the DMZ! After learning about and seeing even a portion of North Korea you'll love and respect your homeland like you never did before.
Brady Nielsen — Google review
The view from the top can be enhanced by looking through the telescopes. You'll see North Korea and it's flag and village. Most Tour guides allow people to blast off some K-pop or other music towards North Korea - I'm sure you know why.
Binxu748er — Google review
We came on a guided tour and spent about an hour here. The stories are fabulous and the views of North Korea are awesome. It is free to use the telescopes and they have interactive displays. Well worth a visit. If you were here. We learned so much on the tour about the history of South Korea and North Korea and really enjoyed the experience.
Alan Donegan — Google review
Being able to see across into North Korea is a unique experience, there's many telescopes to look through. Recommend booking on DMZ tour on weekdays as it was not busy at all
Jamie Palliser — Google review
we came here on our DMZ tour (with VIP tours). it's a slight walk up a hill to the observatory. you can view inside through windows and also head upstairs to view from outside with binoculars provided. there's a short few minute video you can watch and also a cafe inside. air-conditioned and free wifi too.

Perfect to do some North Korean villages spotting, if the weather allows it. Free bynoculars to peek into North Korea. The observarory is new, so there are toilettes and a coffee shop. At The parking lot there's also a souvenir shop.

The Dora Observatory 도라전망대 offers a truly unique and poignant glimpse into North Korea. With the on-site telescopes, I was able to observe North Korean civilians riding their bikes, with not a car in sight, offering a stark contrast to the bustling world we know. The fluttering North Korean flag stands as a silent testament to the country's isolated status. While the observatory can be crowded at times, it's a solemn reminder that just a few kilometers away, there are people facing unimaginable challenges. A humbling and heart-wrenching experience. Highly recommended.
Griffin R — Google review
Wonderful experience here. In awe of the vast space between N n S Korea. I wonder how is it like living and working within this DMZ.
Its a shame that 2 countries with exactly same language, same culture, same food, same families are separated by this strip of land, designated not by Korea themsleves but by some foreign "imperialistic" powers.
Dora observatory serves us a reminder of what war can do to innocent families.
There are free binoculars to see acroos to N Korea at the rook top, an theatre with full height windows to show case the view of DMZ.
Hiatiry wonderfully curated for understanding of the DMZ.
A must go when visiting S Korea.
Gives u the feeling of helplessness and oppressed when ur country is weak.
CH — Google review
Dora Observatory was a highlight of my DMZ Tour that I booked online with PLK Travel. I could see there the North Korean territory through binoculars which was a very exciting experience. It wasn't crowded that gave me enough time to do it, take a lot of pictures and movies. It's a must if you have an extra day in Seoul and want to see a unique place.
Tomasz — Google review
Doing a DMZ Tour and going to the observatory gives you a chance to peek into a part of the world only seen on the news. The whole experience is surreal but worth doing. Try to plan around the weather so the view is not obstructed by clouds or rain.
Konrad — Google review
The touch screen TV that guides the view is as good as using the binoculars. Recommend using both. We were lucky that we were there on a very clear day so could see loads of buildings within North Korea. Pretty much have to go on a guided tour.

Perfect place. Modern, clean and the perfect way to spot into noth korea territority. In general it is free of charges and you are able to see soldiers and workers in north korea when using the free of charge binoculars. Of course you need some good weather conditions :)
A cafe and a shop can also be found in this building.

The Third Tunnel, also known as the Third Tunnel of Aggression, is one of four tunnels dug by North Korea with the suspected intention of invading South Korea. It has the potential to transport a large number of soldiers at an alarming rate and there may be other undiscovered tunnels. Despite North Korea's claim that it was part of a coal mine, evidence found on the tunnel walls suggests otherwise.
We took the first bus which is 9.20am and manage to beat the crowd. We were very fortunate to take the monorail down the third tunnel and it was a incredible experience. There was no photography allow and all camera and mobile devices had to be kept at the locker. The tunnel is really low in height and strongly recommend to keep your blue safety helmet on as I knock my head against the ceiling for a few time. It is not suitable for people that are claustrophobia.
Jianhui — Google review
It's definitely an interesting experience. It's not for those that have bad back or knee issues. Be prepared to bend over walking if your tall. Its something I'm glad I did for the experience, but while I thought it was interesting, my lungs didn't. But I'm at least glad I did it. It's a good piece to the history lesson within the DMZ. The outside area is cool though.
Sasha Lee — Google review
An absolutely authentic experience! Going down to the actual tunnel is on a steep incline, so make sure you can come back up. It is not for the fainthearted! If you are claustrophobic, skip it. But when you get down and in, almost to the point where you are the closest to the border, the feeling is phenomenal! Once in a lifetime opportunity! It is only a guided tour and you cannot take anything in the tunnel - even your phone must be left behind! So worth it!
Dessie Hristov — Google review
It was our first experience walking into such steep tunnel. Going down is not a problem but walking back up could take some effort and stamina. It is best not to walk into it if you have any respiratory issues such as asthma. We were not allowed to take photo in tunnel
Joseph Chiong — Google review
Another great visit in the DMZ. Warning 358M steep downhill walk that descends 75M below ground. If you're tall 250 meter walk hunched over. You get to see the ridiculous North korean garden at the end.... At the end you are roughly 150 meters from the actual border. Farthest you can get into the fenced DMZ.
Ron TazMan (OTazMan) — Google review
It's an amazing experience.
You get to go into the 3rd tunnel (you cannot take photos because it's a military site).
The guide will give you history of the Koreans and how it was divided.
Worth the $70+.

Great experience. You get to learn more about the Korean war and the reason for North Korea to make these tunnels.
Ps. 350m walk down hill when you enter the tunnel then its a tough walk back up i recommend good per hiking shoes this is part of DMZ tours which will involve lots of walking 🚶♀️ be prepared 😉.

We booked a tour through Trip Advisor called Best DMZ tours third tunnel. It was an action packed day and I learned so much. The tunnel was dug by hand and with dynamite by North Korea. South Korea found out and has sealed the tunnel, but we got to walk down into tunnel. It’s a steep incline, no steps. You have to crouch down the whole time as the ceiling is very short, they do give you helmets to wear to protect your head. You are not able to take any pictures while you’re in the tunnels.

Unique experience for DMZ tour.
As foreigners, we joined tour group.
Photo is not allowed in the third tunnel and they provide a helmet.
Joint security area was suspended because of defection of a US soldier.
Highly recommended.

Reflecting on my last visit to The Third Tunnel in 2018, I was amazed by the tourist-friendly enhancements during my recent trip. Unlike before, where we had to navigate stairs, this time a monorail made exploration effortless. Although there are still some steps, the overall experience is now much more relaxed. The site's historical significance remains a compelling reason to visit, offering a deeper understanding of Korea's past. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply seeking an enriching experience, The Third Tunnel is definitely worth a visit, now more accessible and enjoyable than ever before.

I booked my trip via travel agency. And this is my first time visit to the most heavily militarized boundary in the world. Witness the 3rd tunnel that originally built by North Korea in 70's to spy on South Korea side is the most memorable experience in my life. I will never forget it.

The "Half Day DMZ tour" seemed very touristy and left us pretty disappointed.
Most things on this tour are very commercialized to gain tourist money from this world famous conflict.
Almost the only authentic thing on the tour was this tunnel. All attractions around this tunnel are Disney like (DMZ sign, life size plastic soldiers in uniforms,...).
Considering the tunnel, basically you descend down to see a simple primitive tunnel of 200-300 m length and that's it, but again it's original. It was dug by North to attack South along with few another tunnels. The story how it was found is very interesting.
Beware, if claustrophobic don't go down. Same applies if your not in good physical shape - the path down is very steep and long. Many of us got breathless (including me) on the way back up. No photos down, you must leave all your belonging in lockers
Dejan Braki — Google review
Very interesting place to visit! The decent was easy but the walk back up was steep. If you're taller than 5 feet the be ready to hunch over while you walk the actual tunnel. The hard hat yhrn give you is a life saver.
John Liang — Google review
A good place to visit. Tunnel walk was an experience. You have to be kind of fit for the walk. If you are tall, it requires slight bending down. It's a very steep uphill walk back out of the tunnel.
Glo P — Google review
Found this place to be the nicest of all the places I've visited with the DMZ tour. The tunnel is an experience on it's own and is definitely a thing one must do visiting in Seoul. Do mind that you are required to climb a steep tunnel of approx. 350m upwards at the end to get out. Mobile devices are not allowed in the tunnel.
Thomas van Woerkom — Google review
The Third Tunnel of Aggression, also known simply as the Third Tunnel, is one of four known tunnels under the border between North Korea and South Korea, extending south of the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Discovered in 1978, it is considered part of North Korea's infiltration and invasion preparations. The tunnel is about 1.7 kilometers long, 2 meters high, and 2 meters wide. It runs through bedrock at a depth of about 73 meters below ground and was designed to facilitate a sudden invasion by North Korean forces, potentially allowing thousands of soldiers to pass through per hour along with light weaponry.Constructed by North Korea, the tunnel was discovered following a tip from a North Korean defector. North Korea initially denied its existence and later claimed it was part of a coal mining operation, even going so far as to paint the walls with black coal dust to support this claim. However, geological evidence disproved this, as there were no coal deposits in the area.
Make sure you're in good shape to walk it!
Gregor M. Faerber — Google review
This was a great experience. You'll have to wear a helmet and it is a workout! You'll be sweating! If you're claustrophobic, you might not like this experience. There is a convenience store to buy snacks and drinks after the without. You cannot film or take pictures during this experience. They have you lock up your personal stuff in lockers, it's free. There are some photo ops. Definitely recommended!
Thien Trang — Google review
In general, this location is over commercialised and distracts from a significant find.
The introduction video is so very disappointing, and the opportunity is wasted to present something of real interest.
The tunnel itself is a very steep down and up adventure, so be prepared for a workout. There are a lot of interesting things to see around the carpark, so be sure to allow a bit of time.
The toilets were clean, and the museum was kinda interesting.
Karen Graham — Google review
The only place where you can actually enter the DMZ is here, underground. It's the closest you can get to the border too.
It was about 20 minutes return to do the walk, and if you are more than 150cm you will have to do a lot of bending over to not hit your head. They do give you a helmet though.
It was certainly worth going underground just to experience the tunnel. There is underground spring water to drink at the bottom.
We went there with VIP tours and our host Moon was fantastic.
Kai Swann — Google review
In order to visit this place, you need to buy bus tour ticket at Imjingak Pavilion Tourist Site. International travelers must carry passport to visit this place. This is good place to learn about 1950 Korean war. There are four tunnels discovered by South Korea till date. But local people say that, there are few more tunnels which are not yet discovered. I visited this place on 11 May 2024.

Really interesting trip, youte not allowed to record inside the tunnel.
But it is quite a steep walk down and you have to bend down as its not a tall space, you get given helmets to wear.
The walk back up is steep and very tiring, but altogether I would say it's worth it.
There is a park on the left of the tunnel entrance, which is also very pretty interesting and cool. It has Korea separated into north and south, if you wanted to grab a picture.

Unfortunately, we are prohibited from taking photos inside. The tunnel is so steep and low I am around 163cm and I need to lower my head a little bit because my head almost touches the top. It was also steep. It takes around 1-2 hours to go down and go back again. It was an unforgettable experience. I recommend trying the soybean ice cream specialized from Paju. It was delicious. Tastes like skippy peanut butter but cold haha. I also bought some magnets and soybean chocolates for souvenirs.

Going into the tunnel was more physically challenging than we expected. Descending to the base of the tunnel is easy. Walking along the tunnel is extremely tiring for tall people. The actual tunnel is only 160cm (5 feet 3 inches) high. So anyone taller than that will have to walk along the entire length of the tunnel while bending forwards. If you are a tall person with back problems, DO NOT attempt this. I’m 6 feet tall and was extremely tired after bending and walking for 20 minutes. After all that, we had to climb up (walk upwards on a 30 degree slope) for 20 minutes to reach the outside. Tiring but a great experience.
Sadly, they do not allow you to take pictures inside. You have to leave your bags and phones in safe lockers at the entrance.
The provide everyone with hard hats so that you don’t hurt your head inside the tunnel.

The Third Tunnel, also known as the Third Tunnel of Aggression, is one of four tunnels dug by North Korea with the suspected intention of invading South Korea. It has the potential to transport a large number of soldiers at an alarming rate and there may be other undiscovered tunnels. Despite North Korea's claim that it was part of a coal mine, evidence found on the tunnel walls suggests otherwise.
We took the first bus which is 9.20am and manage to beat the crowd. We were very fortunate to take the monorail down the third tunnel and it was a incredible experience. There was no photography allow and all camera and mobile devices had to be kept at the locker. The tunnel is really low in height and strongly recommend to keep your blue safety helmet on as I knock my head against the ceiling for a few time. It is not suitable for people that are claustrophobia.

It's definitely an interesting experience. It's not for those that have bad back or knee issues. Be prepared to bend over walking if your tall. Its something I'm glad I did for the experience, but while I thought it was interesting, my lungs didn't. But I'm at least glad I did it. It's a good piece to the history lesson within the DMZ. The outside area is cool though.

An absolutely authentic experience! Going down to the actual tunnel is on a steep incline, so make sure you can come back up. It is not for the fainthearted! If you are claustrophobic, skip it. But when you get down and in, almost to the point where you are the closest to the border, the feeling is phenomenal! Once in a lifetime opportunity! It is only a guided tour and you cannot take anything in the tunnel - even your phone must be left behind! So worth it!

It was our first experience walking into such steep tunnel. Going down is not a problem but walking back up could take some effort and stamina. It is best not to walk into it if you have any respiratory issues such as asthma. We were not allowed to take photo in tunnel

Another great visit in the DMZ. Warning 358M steep downhill walk that descends 75M below ground. If you're tall 250 meter walk hunched over. You get to see the ridiculous North korean garden at the end.... At the end you are roughly 150 meters from the actual border. Farthest you can get into the fenced DMZ.
Ron TazMan (OTazMan) — Google review
It's an amazing experience.
You get to go into the 3rd tunnel (you cannot take photos because it's a military site).
The guide will give you history of the Koreans and how it was divided.
Worth the $70+.

This is an incredible experience but unfortunately you can’t take any pictures in the tunnel. I highly recommend visiting this area because of the history and information given.

Great experience. You get to learn more about the Korean war and the reason for North Korea to make these tunnels.
Ps. 350m walk down hill when you enter the tunnel then its a tough walk back up i recommend good per hiking shoes this is part of DMZ tours which will involve lots of walking 🚶♀️ be prepared 😉.

We booked a tour through Trip Advisor called Best DMZ tours third tunnel. It was an action packed day and I learned so much. The tunnel was dug by hand and with dynamite by North Korea. South Korea found out and has sealed the tunnel, but we got to walk down into tunnel. It’s a steep incline, no steps. You have to crouch down the whole time as the ceiling is very short, they do give you helmets to wear to protect your head. You are not able to take any pictures while you’re in the tunnels.

Unique experience for DMZ tour.
As foreigners, we joined tour group.
Photo is not allowed in the third tunnel and they provide a helmet.
Joint security area was suspended because of defection of a US soldier.
Highly recommended.

Reflecting on my last visit to The Third Tunnel in 2018, I was amazed by the tourist-friendly enhancements during my recent trip. Unlike before, where we had to navigate stairs, this time a monorail made exploration effortless. Although there are still some steps, the overall experience is now much more relaxed. The site's historical significance remains a compelling reason to visit, offering a deeper understanding of Korea's past. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply seeking an enriching experience, The Third Tunnel is definitely worth a visit, now more accessible and enjoyable than ever before.

I booked my trip via travel agency. And this is my first time visit to the most heavily militarized boundary in the world. Witness the 3rd tunnel that originally built by North Korea in 70's to spy on South Korea side is the most memorable experience in my life. I will never forget it.

The "Half Day DMZ tour" seemed very touristy and left us pretty disappointed.
Most things on this tour are very commercialized to gain tourist money from this world famous conflict.
Almost the only authentic thing on the tour was this tunnel. All attractions around this tunnel are Disney like (DMZ sign, life size plastic soldiers in uniforms,...).
Considering the tunnel, basically you descend down to see a simple primitive tunnel of 200-300 m length and that's it, but again it's original. It was dug by North to attack South along with few another tunnels. The story how it was found is very interesting.
Beware, if claustrophobic don't go down. Same applies if your not in good physical shape - the path down is very steep and long. Many of us got breathless (including me) on the way back up. No photos down, you must leave all your belonging in lockers

Very interesting place to visit! The decent was easy but the walk back up was steep. If you're taller than 5 feet the be ready to hunch over while you walk the actual tunnel. The hard hat yhrn give you is a life saver.
John Liang — Google review
A good place to visit. Tunnel walk was an experience. You have to be kind of fit for the walk. If you are tall, it requires slight bending down. It's a very steep uphill walk back out of the tunnel.
Glo P — Google review
Found this place to be the nicest of all the places I've visited with the DMZ tour. The tunnel is an experience on it's own and is definitely a thing one must do visiting in Seoul. Do mind that you are required to climb a steep tunnel of approx. 350m upwards at the end to get out. Mobile devices are not allowed in the tunnel.

The Third Tunnel of Aggression, also known simply as the Third Tunnel, is one of four known tunnels under the border between North Korea and South Korea, extending south of the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Discovered in 1978, it is considered part of North Korea's infiltration and invasion preparations. The tunnel is about 1.7 kilometers long, 2 meters high, and 2 meters wide. It runs through bedrock at a depth of about 73 meters below ground and was designed to facilitate a sudden invasion by North Korean forces, potentially allowing thousands of soldiers to pass through per hour along with light weaponry.Constructed by North Korea, the tunnel was discovered following a tip from a North Korean defector. North Korea initially denied its existence and later claimed it was part of a coal mining operation, even going so far as to paint the walls with black coal dust to support this claim. However, geological evidence disproved this, as there were no coal deposits in the area.
Make sure you're in good shape to walk it!

This was a great experience. You'll have to wear a helmet and it is a workout! You'll be sweating! If you're claustrophobic, you might not like this experience. There is a convenience store to buy snacks and drinks after the without. You cannot film or take pictures during this experience. They have you lock up your personal stuff in lockers, it's free. There are some photo ops. Definitely recommended!

In general, this location is over commercialised and distracts from a significant find.
The introduction video is so very disappointing, and the opportunity is wasted to present something of real interest.
The tunnel itself is a very steep down and up adventure, so be prepared for a workout. There are a lot of interesting things to see around the carpark, so be sure to allow a bit of time.
The toilets were clean, and the museum was kinda interesting.
Karen Graham — Google review
The only place where you can actually enter the DMZ is here, underground. It's the closest you can get to the border too.
It was about 20 minutes return to do the walk, and if you are more than 150cm you will have to do a lot of bending over to not hit your head. They do give you a helmet though.
It was certainly worth going underground just to experience the tunnel. There is underground spring water to drink at the bottom.
We went there with VIP tours and our host Moon was fantastic.

In order to visit this place, you need to buy bus tour ticket at Imjingak Pavilion Tourist Site. International travelers must carry passport to visit this place. This is good place to learn about 1950 Korean war. There are four tunnels discovered by South Korea till date. But local people say that, there are few more tunnels which are not yet discovered. I visited this place on 11 May 2024.

Really interesting trip, youte not allowed to record inside the tunnel.
But it is quite a steep walk down and you have to bend down as its not a tall space, you get given helmets to wear.
The walk back up is steep and very tiring, but altogether I would say it's worth it.
There is a park on the left of the tunnel entrance, which is also very pretty interesting and cool. It has Korea separated into north and south, if you wanted to grab a picture.

Unfortunately, we are prohibited from taking photos inside. The tunnel is so steep and low I am around 163cm and I need to lower my head a little bit because my head almost touches the top. It was also steep. It takes around 1-2 hours to go down and go back again. It was an unforgettable experience. I recommend trying the soybean ice cream specialized from Paju. It was delicious. Tastes like skippy peanut butter but cold haha. I also bought some magnets and soybean chocolates for souvenirs.

Going into the tunnel was more physically challenging than we expected. Descending to the base of the tunnel is easy. Walking along the tunnel is extremely tiring for tall people. The actual tunnel is only 160cm (5 feet 3 inches) high. So anyone taller than that will have to walk along the entire length of the tunnel while bending forwards. If you are a tall person with back problems, DO NOT attempt this. I’m 6 feet tall and was extremely tired after bending and walking for 20 minutes. After all that, we had to climb up (walk upwards on a 30 degree slope) for 20 minutes to reach the outside. Tiring but a great experience.
Sadly, they do not allow you to take pictures inside. You have to leave your bags and phones in safe lockers at the entrance.
The provide everyone with hard hats so that you don’t hurt your head inside the tunnel.

Panmunjom, also known as the Joint Security Area (JSA), is a popular destination for tourists interested in visiting the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Visitors have the option to take tours specifically focused on Panmunjom or the DMZ. It's recommended to make reservations at least three days in advance, and online booking is often the best way to secure a spot.

Jeondeungsa Temple is a serene and colorful Buddhist compound featuring intricate carvings and old-growth trees. Although some pathwalks are under renovation, visitors can still explore the beautiful temple for a cheap entrance fee of 3000 with discounts available for children, elderly, and groups. It is recommended to wear hiking shoes as the hike up to the temple can be steep for newcomers. Inside and outside the gates there are souvenir shops and a wishing well fed by free flowing spring water.
Beautiful temple and surroundings! It can get really crowded on the weekend. I did a 2-day/1-night templestay and it was a unique experience. The program was well organized, the temple staff really informative and attentive, the food at the restaurant delicious and the facilities clean and well maintained. Warmly recommended!

Since I went to this temple during the winter, I feel Bomunsa looks more appealing. But with greens or colored leaves and flowers it might be better in season.

Currently there are some pathwalks being renovated but this doesn't hinder our time exploring the old temple. Very beautiful view, cheap entrance 3000₩, with discount for kids and elderly and groups... wear hiking shoes, I don't recommend slippers, steep hike for newbies. Lots of souvenir shops outside the gates and some inside the temple. There's free flowing spring water going to a wishing well. Bus 3000 is more accessible, bus 2000 they say comes every 1hrs going back to Seoul. I recommend you use naver maps for better transpo access. Best time to visit during celebration of Buddha's bday on May, spring, then on fall, and winter, summer.

The Ganghwa Peace Observatory is a complex located on the North Korean border that offers a unique opportunity to observe daily life in North Korea through binoculars for a fee of 500 won. The area is heavily guarded by active military sentries and has a checkpoint on the way. A historical and informative observation building with displays in Korean and English can be found, along with a small shop and restaurants inside.

A very interesting place. It kind of is odd to just peer over into North Korea. The area has binoculars (500 won to view) and you can see people across doing their daily things. You'll also notice a lot of active military sentries near. There is also a checkpoint on the way to the area.
The observation building is very nice, with lots of historical notes and facts (mostly in Korean with the titles being in English for a lot of displays. There is a small shop and some restaurants inside.
The building itself is an actual military building so it is not all accessible.
The way to the building is also fairly steep so keep that in mind.
Parking is free entry is 2500 won.
Worth going to for sure.

Nice and interesting spot definitely off the beaten path. We had to go through military security checkpoints to get there, so it definitely is an authentic NK viewing experience! Make sure you bring ₩1,000 bills/₩500 coins for the binoculars on the observation decks. A few things have English translations, but not everything. For non-Korean speakers, this will still be an interesting place, but you'll need to rely pretty heavily on translation apps.

The Propaganda Monument - Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Memorial is a national military museum that has been open since 2013. It displays artifacts and offers guided tours related to the country's historic war. The museum showcases monuments that commemorate the nation's victory over its enemies, with an emphasis on glorifying their leader who allegedly possessed divine powers. Despite displaying propaganda, the museum attracts visitors who appreciate its unique atmosphere created by loud soldiers and the smell of preserved carcasses.

Hushan Great Wall is a renowned historical landmark located near the border that features a massive wall, a gate tower and twelve watchtowers. Tourists are drawn to this attraction for its breathtaking scenery both inside and outside the country, with Sinuiju city in North Korea serving as an impressive vista from outside. The road leading to Hushan Great Wall is well-maintained, although shade may be scarce along the way.
Love the hike up and down the walls and also along the border line. I never came so close to the North Korean border. It was not crowded as we went on off peak season. But definitely worth a half day trip to take the hiking in this great country side of Dan Dong city.

(Translated by Google) On July 10th, I visited by bus from the passenger station in Dandong. Before that, I wanted to go to the Taiyo Island Travel and Leisure Area, but I gave up because I didn't know how to get there. It was a sunny and hot day, and there wasn't much shade in the area, so I bought ice cream twice. A little trouble at the entrance. Elderly people are supposed to be exempt from paying, but the lady at the ticket office told me that ``foreigners are not eligible,'' so I paid normally. Even though there was no charge for Changbaishan and Fangchuan... There was no mention of this in Badaling, a 5A national scenic spot, or in Wulingyuan or the Big Bear and Cat Training Base in Chengdu. Is it for 4A class (managed by local government?) or for Japanese people?
To climb the Great Wall, there are stairs (steeper than Badaling). It's hard because it's hot. From above, you can see the farmlands and people of Korea across the river. On the way back, I go down the same stairs (some people get caught on the handrail and back down). In narrow areas, the center part is worn out, so step on both ends. On the way back, I took a bus (not a regular bus, it was full) from in front of the entrance and got off at Dandong station. The return trip is about 5RMB cheaper.

The Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge is a notable landmark that spans the Yalu River, connecting the cities of Dandong in China and Sinuiju in North Korea. This bridge has a rich history and represents a symbol of cooperation between these two nations. The bridge was first built in 1943 during the Japanese occupation and was later reconstructed after being destroyed during the Korean War.
The Yalu River Broken Bridge is a famous landmark and tourist attraction in Dandong, China. Built in 1911, the bridge was partially destroyed during the Korean War by Americans. Today, it functions as a promenade and lookout for visitors to walk along until the end of the broken part of the bridge. The location holds significant historical events that draw people to visit and explore with many restaurants available nearby.
Yalu River Broken Bridge is located in China's Dandong city , bordering Nort Koreas Sinuiju city.
The bridge is damaged by Americans during the Korean War of 1950-53. From the broken bridge, you can see North Korea about 900 meters away. A very good historical place.

Famous damaged bridge between China and North Korea in Dandong. Americans destroyed it during Korean War. Some parts of bridge is open. You can walk along until the end of broken bridge. Nowadays very popular tourist attraction point, well known and visited. This location exists on those historic events. Therefore many restaurants are there. You will get to Dandong by railway. We started from Shenyang to Dandong., maybe it took about 1 and a half hour. Train very modern and fast with air conditioner. So the travel was relaxing. Sometimes North Koreans speak to you. They advertise Korean Snow Mountains for skiing.

I remember very well the feeling to have the first sight to the bridge the day before we crossed the river.

The North Korean ferris wheel is actually a 2D replica of a ferris wheel. That's just so gorgeous!

If you are one of the few Westerners travelling to North Korea via the border town of Dandong, you will undoubtedly pull into the train station. And if you have some spare time turn right when leaving the station and walk a few blocks to the river and have your first look at North Korea and the Yalu River Broken Bridge. And, spoiler alert, there is no tension. It was in fact quite peaceful and deserted when we came to visit in the morning. A few security guards but they were disinterested in us. We mostly wandered and took pictures of statues and monuments and the bridge of course with the Hermit Kingdom on the other side. Certainly, this is where one can visually see the stark difference between the third world conditions of North Korea on one side of the Yalu River and the affluent, more commercialized condition on the other.
As for the bridge itself, you can pay an admission fee to walk to the end but we chose not to as there didn't seem to be much to attract us to walk on the bridge halfway across the river, especially since in less than an hour we would be taking the train all the way across anyway. Still, a much photographed location with huge political connotations.

Very nice hiking trail. Very safe, outstanding views and clean.
The hike is easy and well secured. Absolutely no need for cable cars or shuttles. Bring 6 to 7 hours time to cover the complete route.
Overall it was not crowded, except for the area around the glass walk since it is easy reachable by cable car and many people just seem to go there and nowhere else.
Entrance fee was a very fair 80 CNY. If you take shuttles and cable cars you can easily spent 3 times more.

Only a 20 minutes train ride from Dandong. Only use official taxies as the others can be dangerous (we were given a lift by a madman). If you didn't bring gloves with you, it's worth buying a pair as the handrails will be cold and slippery. People suffering from acrophobia stay away from the paths on top of the hills. Only one way traffic, so you won't be able to go back!

Fantastic place to walk, climb and see a spectacular scenery. And very few western tourists to see, as well.

(Translated by Google) Went on November, there were too many people. I went there in the morning and didn't finish the climb in the afternoon, so my time was wasted on the blocked road. Recommend going at a time when there are less people.

The Dalian Coastal National Geopark is a splendid destination for hikers and geology enthusiasts alike. The park features numerous rocks of various shapes and formations, each accompanied by informative boards detailing their geological origins. Visitors are treated to breathtaking views of the clear sea, making it an ideal spot for capturing stunning portrait photos.
A national park that makes a great hike for hikers as well as geology lovers. Many rocks with different shapes and formations whose geological history is usually well explained on small boards erected besides them. View of the sea is breathtaking, and the sea water is clear. Many locations for a great portrait photo with your favourite poses. The place would surely be flooded with newly-married couples coming for wedding photos if it weren't a ticketed national park so far from downtown. No complaints about the burning sun though, although it made us sweat a lot.

Golden Pebble Beach is a popular destination offering a variety of activities such as jet skiing, golfing, and visiting family amusement parks. The sandy beach is lined with BBQ restaurants and provides an ideal spot for people-watching. While the area is known for its friendly atmosphere, some visitors note that there are limited dining options available.
Great place for people watching. Everyone is very friendly. The area is a little light on food choices.

Nice large beach and lot of small restaurants but water is quite dirty and people drives with water jets in same area with swimmers.
Sea food in restaurants is good and price level is low

(Translated by Google) If you go to Geumseoktan, you must play a round. It's also a course near the beach.
The inner course is cheaper because it doesn't go around the beach.
The natural golf driving range is also great. The best!
Photos are a must!
It takes an hour from downtown Dalian.

Went there for skiing this winter! The snow was fake but good, but make sure you get there early in the morning before the artificial snow goes bad. Good facilities with restaurant and WiFi! All equipment hire available and included for the entrance fee, very affordable. The slopes are easy to master if you know what you are doing, but the big peak is a challenge. Also has other facilities like hotel and hot springs!
