See the road here? It was fully and tightly controlled. Where is it?
It's the Dora Observatory or도라전망대 located within the DMZ (demilitarized zone).
Even there is a photo line which means what we are not allowed to take any pictures outside that yellow line.
So, Instead of taking pictures, visitors could use huge binoculars by inserting a 500 Won coin so as they could see the closest area of North Korea. For those having no 500 Won coin could do so by having their bills changed into the coins at 동전교환소 available there.
After having our coins, we could freely use the binoculars or telescope to see the North Korea. It is I think one of best ways to have ourselves get exposed to the seemingly mysterious life in the North.
What I saw was that there was this huge and tall flag of the North Korea visible even through our naked eyes. Some villages and some area of the famous Gaeseong industrial complex were also visible. The brochure said that I could see the bronze statue of Kim Il-Seong, but...I did not find it.
