Yanggu: the DMZ Nobody Takes You To

Everyone goes to Paju. Almost nobody goes to Yanggu. It is the same border — 150 km further east, where the line runs through mountains instead of farmland, and where you need paperwork that no coach from Seoul will do for you. It is about 2 hours from Seoul by road (141 km). Here is […]

The Peace Gondola at Imjingak in Paju, beside the DMZ

Doing the DMZ Without the Tour Bus

Here is the part most DMZ pages skip: past the Civilian Control Line, you cannot drive yourself. Not in a rental car, not in a taxi, not with a Korean friend. The Third Tunnel and Dora Observatory sit inside a controlled military area, and you reach them on a registered tour or you do not […]

How to Get to Baengnyeongdo: the Ferry, the ID Check and the Weather

Baengnyeongdo is the northernmost island in South Korea. It lies about 17 km off the North Korean coast and some 200 km from Incheon — which is to say it is far closer to the North than it is to the country it belongs to. The Marine Corps garrisons it. Hardly any foreign visitors go. […]

MUST GO PLACES IN KOREA – BAENGNYEONGDO (ISLAND)

This time, I went to “Baengnyeongdo” Island, located in the northernmost part of South Korea.ย Originally, it was the 14th largest island in Korea, but what’s interesting is that this island is now the 8th largest island through several reclamation projects. Through the reclamation project, the agricultural area has expanded, and many people make a living in agriculture. That is why even if Baengnyeongdo is an island, only 10% of the workforce are fishermen.ย
