Line Of Division

Korea is the only divided country in the world. After the Korean War (June 25 1950 – July 27 1953), South Korea and North Korea established a border that cut the Korean peninsula roughly in half. Stretching for 2km on either side of this border is the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).  

 As one of the last relics of the Cold War, the DMZ attracts a great deal of public interest, and is a popular destination for travelers visiting Korea.  Despite the fact that this is the most heavily armed border in the world, it is extremely rare that any hostilities take place. These days the DMZ is a safe destination that we would thoroughly recommend to any traveler.  The DMZ and its surroundings contain many interesting historical sights and pristine untouched natural surroundings.

 Various organizations offer DMZ guided tours.  Itineraries differ, but most tours will take visitors to an observatory, one of North Korea’s infiltration tunnels, a military base, and right into Panmunjeom, the Joint Security Area in the middle of the DMZ where negotiations between the two sides are held.








For over fifty years the areas surrounding the DMZ have been restricted to the general public.  As a result, they have become a wildlife preserve containing incredible bio-diversity.  The DMZ and its surrounding areas are now referred to as the Peace and Life Zone (PLZ), and a special tour course has been designed taking travelers to destinations of historical interest and outstanding natural beauty. 

I had a nice trip to Demiltrlized zone of South Korea, North Korea Boundary with Internal students.actually it was my 3rd time visiting different area of DMZ and it always made me gloomy, as i though about the two brothers who are separated by a boundary wall. To me it seems like a division of one heart or single body into to pieces. and the foreign interest has made their case more severe. Honestly I think it is just the 3rd countries who has created this gap and are playing their role in making it more worse. 

We got the latest information about the troops on both sides and their movements. Although it was much informative trip but after the visit i was thinking all the way, whether this division will be finished ever as it desired by the people of both countries. 

I recommend you all to visit this place.. and also to pray for the Unification of both brother countries.
