Discover the history of the Korean War at Imjingak Park. See the bullet-riddled Freedom Bridge, where 12,773 POWs walked to freedom.

Venture into the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, dug by North Korea and discovered in 1978. Visit Dora Observatory, and see North Korea's 160m flagpole in Kijong-dong, nicknamed "Propaganda Village”.

Stop by the Unification Village, a small farming community that specializes in creating soybean milk, traditional soy sauce, and corn goods.
