Imjingak DMZ South Korea
#seoul
As the first stop of my DMZ tour in South Korea, I visited Imjingak which is a prominent area not to be missed about just 7km from the actual DMZ.
Imjingak is famous as the place where Koreans separated from their families in North Korea visit to perform ancestral rites by bowing toward their hometowns every New Year’s Day and Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving). Hence shrine monuments have also been built here for this very purpose at Imjingak.
My rating of this attraction: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!

The Peace Bell
Pyeonghwauijong which is more known to us as The Peace Bell in Imjingak Peace Park, located in Majeong-ri, Munsan-eup, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.
The Peace Bell was built in 2000 to pray for peace of the human race and national unification in celebration of the new millennium. Symbolizing the 21st century, it was built with 21 stairs and in the weight of 21 tons.
Imjingak is the northernmost place where south korean residents and tourists can visit freely without any permission, located about 7km to the south from the Military Demarcation Line of two Koreas. Imjingak hall and park were built in 1972 for the commemoration of Korean War and the hope of unification, and became one of the main tourist attractions around DMZ.

Visit imjingak where you are able too have a glance of North Korean territory while you’re in South Korea. Demilitarized zone boundaries of the two Korean Peninsula. Many attractions to behold.
