The 2nd Tunnel, which was made by North Koreans to invade South Korea, was discovered on March 24, 1975. This tunnel is 3.5 kilometers long and sits 50~160 meters below the surface. It stretches out 1.1 kilometers and 2.4 kilometers in the south and north directions respectively. Only 500 meters is open for tourism among the whole length. Inside of the tunnel, there is a plaza to gather a large military force. The tunnel is divided into 3 exits. The use of this tunnel would allow for thirty thousand armed forces as well as tanks to pass through per hour. For now, the tunnel is operated as part of Cheorwon Security Tourism Course and many tourists visit this area every year.

Bidulginang Falls The name "Bidulginang" comes from the Korean word “nang,” meaning “nest,” inspired by the hundreds of white doves that once nested in a cave behind the waterfall. On September 26, 2012, the Cultural Heritage Administration designated the Pocheon Hantangang Basalt Gorge and Bidulginang Falls as Natural Monument No. 537. Thanks to its stunning location and unique natural beauty, the falls have also appeared in popular historical K-dramas such as The Slave Hunters (Chuno), Queen Seondeok, and Warrior Baek Dong-soo.

Good.

The person in charge explained the history of the Korean division in an easy-to-understand way, so I learned a lot.

I really liked DRAGON's story. It was good on schedule and very kind. The lunch shop you chose was also very delicious and nice. DRAGON san, I recommend it.

Valuable experience

I'm glad I chose a tour that would take me to the DMZ. It took a little while but it was a valuable experience. Dragon-san's Japanese was also easy to understand and fun.
