Why go

Yanggu Unification Hall in Yanggu, Gangwon, is the public observatory and information center on the Korean unification narrative — located in Yanggu, the closest civilian-accessible county to the central section of the inter-Korean military demarcation line. The complex combines an observatory deck looking toward the demarcation line and into North Korea on clear days, an interpretive museum on the Korean War, post-war divided peninsula, and the long-running unification movement, and a small chapel for visitors who want to mark the visit reflectively. Bilingual interpretation. Access is restricted to specific tour times for security reasons. Free entry but reservation through the regional tour office required. About 2 hours. Pair with the broader Yanggu cultural attractions.
