Cross a suspension bridge into the eco park

Aegibong Peace Eco Park sits where the Han River and the Jogang River meet. It was Hill 154, where the two Koreas fought fiercely during the Korean War, and after the war many displaced people came here to look toward their hometowns. Walk across the suspension bridge that leads toward the observatory.

Look at North Korea from Jogang Observatory

The old observatory built in 1978 was demolished and replaced by the newly built Jogang Observatory, where you can see North Korean land from the closest distance. The distance from the observatory to North Korea is about 1.4 km.

The site was once famous for a giant Christmas tree. Today, a tree-shaped bridge stands in its place instead.

Take a break at the Starbucks in the observatory

Jogang Observatory has a Starbucks overlooking the river. Food and drinks are not included, so order any drinks you want on site.
