Talking about hope at the scene of division, Yeoncheon security tourism

Yeoncheon’s victory OP (Observation Post, guard post) and 1.21 armed guerrilla infiltration are a place that tells the painful reality of Korea, which is ‘the world’s only divided country’. The distance between the military demarcation line and the North Korean observation post is only 750 meters. The observation posts and guard posts of both armies, and the barbed wire dividing the north and south show the scene of a tense confrontation. However, if you look at the barbed wire fence, it is not different from the place we live in. There, peaceful mountains and fields spread out, roe deer run around, and birds fly around. Within the Civilian Control Line, I see farmers busy cultivating rice fields and cultivating fields during the busy farming season, and I hope that someday I will be able to come and go freely. On January 21st, 1968, 31 armed guerrillas who crossed the armistice line to blow up the Blue House on January 21st, 1968, break through the barbed wire fence and infiltrate, raising awareness of security awareness. Nearby, there are travel maps that are useful for experiencing history, such as the Royal Tomb of King Gyeongsun, the only royal tomb of Silla outside of Gyeongju, Horogoru of Goguryeo, and the Jeongok-ri Site in Yeoncheon, Korea’s representative Paleolithic remains.
