Overview

Visit the unique Starbucks on Aegibong Peace Ecopark and Jogang Observatory in Civilian Control Zone closest to DMZ

See North Korea on the observatory only 1.4 km away from N. Korea!

Aegibong Peace Ecopark was originally Hill 154, where the two Koreas fought fiercely during the Korean War located at the mouth of the Hangang River along with the Jogang River.

Aegibong is famous for the place where displaced people often visit. After the Korean War, many displaced people missed their homes and visited Aegibong to see their hometown. Also, famous for the Starbucks cafe on the observatory now.
