Paju is the nearest place where tourists can see the north Korea land crossed the border, drawn on 38th degree of north latitude right after the World War 2.
After crossing the Southern Limit Line, we reach to the DMZ where is Dora Observatory and 3rd Infiltration tunnel built by north Korea.
Sure you can definitely feel some scary but it is the most peaceful place in the world. Since we completed the DMZ tour run by the Paju city, then move to vicinity like Majang lake or Royal tomb.
