Starting from Hongdae, 9:30 AM was just right, not too early to get up, and it took about an hour to arrive. Upon entering the area, soldiers came up to check roll. After reaching the base of the observation deck, you can stroll up to the Aegibong Observation Deck. The weather was great that day; you could clearly see North Korea across the bay with the naked eye. There are free high-powered telescopes on the observation deck, allowing you to observe the situation in North Korea and take photos to share on your phone. The Starbucks had limited seating, and it was very cold (-10°C) that day, so it wasn't possible to leisurely enjoy a coffee inside, which was a bit of a shame. A very interesting experience overall. There's also a peace memorial here, but unfortunately, we didn't have time to visit. Today's guide was Hanna, who speaks both English and Chinese. She was very lovely and friendly, providing detailed explanations and even helping us take photos along the way. I recommend joining her tour! 😊
I'd always wanted to visit this place, but driving alone was just too expensive, so after much consideration, I decided to sign up for this tour. Our guide, Kim Ji-hye, was very professional. Best of all, as soon as we arrived at the park, he took us straight to Starbucks to queue and snag the best seats with the best view. I highly recommend this tour to tourists visiting Korea. Although I felt sorry for North Koreans being treated like animals, it was a very thought-provoking experience for us, making us appreciate our own democratic and free country even more.
We could communicate and talk to the driver in Chinese. He arrived on time, and during the ride, he chatted with us and when he learned we were there to see our idols, he played songs by Sevenus for us. It was a comfortable and convenient airport transfer! 👍
1. Despite having a large group and a lot of luggage, the driver was still able to arrange transportation, which was great. 2. They added each other on WeChat the night before, which put me at ease. 3. Communication was timely and efficient, for example, they helped with adding a baby car seat. 4. The whole process was very considerate; they helped guide us and carry our luggage, and turned on the heater as soon as we got in the car, because it was -6 degrees Celsius that day, and a group of us from Kaohsiung were freezing. 5. After arriving at the designated point, we parked the car right in front of the entrance so we didn't have to endure the cold air anymore. 6. They were also able to ask us some travel questions in the car and patiently gave us advice. I am truly grateful.
