WELCOME TO KOREA

Special DMZ (Northern Limit Line) ~ Northern Limit Line, what is it?

The Northern Limit Line (NLL) is a disputed maritime demarcation line in the Yellow  (West) Sea between the North and the South of the Korean peninsula. This line of military control acts as de facto maritime boundary between North and South Korea. 

Aegibong Peak Observatory

Aegibong Peak in Gimpo City is an important historical landmark in Korea, as North and South Korea fought at this mountain during the Korean War. The stunning view from the peak is a sad reminder of the division of Korea into the North and South. From the 154m-high Aegibong Peak, you can see North Korea's kaepung County.

Iron Fence Zone

 Gimpo, close to North Korea, commands a view of the barbed wire fence of the divided Korea, alongside Pyeonghwa Nurigil.

Deokpojin Fort

Deokpojin Fort which is the site of a military camp during the Joseon Dynasty used to fend off enemies heading towards Seoul. The camp was used in battles such as the French and American invasion at the end of the 19th century. The area was part of an excavation and there are lots of cannon foundations rebuilt here. Since Gimpo is so close to the North Korean post, there is also an army guard post here.
