What your day looks like

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) Korea is the only divided country in the world. After the Korean War (June 25, 1950 – July 27, 1953), South Korea and North Korea established a border that cut the Korean peninsula roughly in half. Stretching for 2km on either side of this border is the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). As one of the last relics of the Cold War, the DMZ attracts a great deal of public interest and is a popular destination for travelers visiting Korea. Despite the fact that this is the most heavily armed border in the world, it is extremely rare that any hostilities take place. These days the DMZ is a safe destination that we would thoroughly recommend to any traveler. The DMZ and its surroundings contain many interesting historical sights and pristine untouched natural surroundings. Yeouido Han River Park The park offers exciting events year-round: the Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival in the spring, the World Fireworks Festival in the fall, as well as concerts, and marathons. Well-preserved natural areas such as Bamseom and Yeouido Saetgang Tributary provide visitors with an opportunity to learn about nature and ecology. In addition, thanks to the Hangang Renaissance Project, the park is full of new attractions: the Water Light Square, Waterside Fountains, the Waterside Stage, Festival Land, the Piano Waterway, Waterfalls of Light, the Yacht Marina, and more. Norayangjin Fish Market Opened in 1927 on Uiju-ro, next to the Seoul Station, Noryangjin Fishery Market is one of Korea’s largest seafood markets. The seafood market was moved to the newly constructed building in 1971 at Noryangjin and Suhyup took over the market to promote the fishery industry, as well as to increase fisher’s income in 2002. In addition, they started modernizing projects that made it a leading fishery market in Korea, co-existing distribution, and culture alike. The market handles about 50% of metropolitan volumes and 250 to 300 tons of marine products are traded every day.
