Why travelers stop here
Yeokswae Observatory was established on April 11, 1998, by the Army Yeokswae Unit to provide security education and soothe the sorrows of displaced people. From the observatory, the DMZ barbed wire fence and the front-line guard posts (GP) are visible at a glance. Inside the exhibition hall, North Korean daily necessities and anti-South combat equipment are displayed, offering a glimpse into the actual state of North Korea. The exhibition hall also features a unification wish postcard tree shaped like barbed wire, adding fun for visitors.
