Korean Expat Community for National Disasters

• 목록

Yanggu, South Korea, is a serene and historically significant village nestled in the northeastern part of Gangwon Province. This peaceful region offers visitors a unique blend of natural beauty and historical relevance, particularly due to its proximity to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The village is surrounded by lush mountains, scenic rivers, and a landscape that provides a calming escape from the bustling city life. One of Yanggu’s highlights is its breathtaking natural scenery, with the peaceful Hantan River flowing through the area, perfect for a tranquil day out by the water.

During my visit, I was captivated by the scenic views, especially along the river. The clear, reflective waters combined with the surrounding greenery offered an incredible moment of peace and connection with nature. Visiting the DMZ was another unique experience, adding a sense of history and reflection to the trip. Standing so close to the border, I felt the weight of the past and the hope for peace in the future.

For those planning to visit, Yanggu offers various attractions like the DMZ Peace & Security Park, where you can learn about Korea’s history and the ongoing significance of the DMZ. The Yanggu Unification Hall and nearby scenic hiking trails provide further opportunities to explore both history and nature. Overall, I had an unforgettable time in Yanggu, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful and scenic escape in Korea.
