Standing at the "Unification Observatory" at a height of 70m above sea level where the armistice line and the southern limit line meet, you can see Guseonbong Peak and Haegeumgang in Geumgangsan Mountain, located in North Korea, and on a clear day, you can see Oknyeobong Peak, Chaehabong Peak, and Ilchulbong Peak. The frontline posts, which are confronting each other with a border fence under their feet, create tension between the two Koreas.
A representative tourist destination in Goseong, which attracts more than 1.5 million tourists a year, there are various religious facilities for displaced people and those wishing for unification who left behind in the North, as well as security education exhibits such as armored vehicles, tanks, and planes.
Since the 1950 Korean War, the Republic of Korea has still been in a truce, and the war has not ended. Still, the border region with North Korea is always in balance, maintaining a state of immediate tension.
We hope that the tension between the two Koreas will be resolved and reunified as soon as possible. Unification feels far away now because it is bound by the interests of neighboring countries, but one day, we will certainly unify on our own and achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula. I sincerely hope that day will come. :D
