I could be mistaken, but I read that the city you see from the observation deck is a false city. It’s too make NK be viewed as prosperous. I could be very mistaken though, correct me if so!
recently i went on an organised tour in north korea. me and my family had guards with us always, security checked our rooms almost every day, we werent allowed leave our hotel without pur tour guide and we werent allowed shop in most shops, only tourist allowed ones. when you are in there, you see how depressing the country is. very interesting holiday, but overall the risks and all are just too high
i did that tour last year it's great trip
I was stationed there decades ago when it was still an active DMZ. It's wild to see tourists going to see it.
I have been there, and taken the same route. It's a very cool experience.
YEAH KOREA 🇰🇷 😍 👏
I’ve been there and in the JSA about 14 years ago.
Spent 14 months in Korea USArmy🇺🇸🇰🇷
Stationed there 1984-1985 I/9 Infantry. Way different back then.
Just been to the DMZ tour today. The top floor (roof) was shut due to sniper concerns, as there is heightened tension. We did see the flag though, from the second floor of the observatory.
Hope the same across the Indo - Pakistan and Indo - Bangladeshi border.
I would go, when i save enough to travel as much as I want
This is really cool thank you for sharing
That's such a scary experience but worth it.
You don't give up your passport, they just cross check it from a list you sign. and since they closed the joint security area to the public, it's not really worth visiting.
I did the tour last week with my Alma Mater. It was raining, so I couldn't see both flags clearly & and it was foggy. I'm glad we were able to visit a lot of spots in DMZ & learn about the history of Korea
I went to the DMZ yesterday and we did not have to give up our passports. We just had to show them to the military guys on the bus. Maybe rules changed recently.
I had a friend who visited dmz from the north korean side
