The
Korean Demilitarized Zone is a strip of land

as a buffer zone between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North
Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea). The demilitarized zone
(DMZ) is a border barrier that divides the Korean Peninsula roughly in
half.

The Dorasan Observatory looks across the Demilitarized
Zone. It is the part of South Korea closest to the North. Visitors can
catch a rare glimpse of the reclusive North Korean state through binoculars
from the 304 square feet, 500-person capacity observatory. They will be
able to see the North Korean propaganda village situated in the DMZ. The
DMZ is 250 kilometres long, and about 4 kilometres wide. It intersects

most heavily militarized borders in the world.
The 3rd Tunnel was discovered in 1978 by South
Korean forces. It spans over 1,635m in length, 2m in width, and 2m in height
