The DMZ Separates North Korea And South Korea
Do you remember the heartbreaking scene where Captain Ri is about to cross the border towards North Korea, and Se-ri ran fast to say her goodbyes? Well, this scene happened in the demilitarized zone.
The DMZ stretches for about 150 miles (240 kilometers) and generally follows latitude 38° N (the 38th parallel) from the mouth of the Han River on the west coast to a little south of the North Korean town of Kosŏng on the east coast, is the 1953 military ceasefire line.

There Are Multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites In South Korea
South Korea also has breathtaking gifts from mother nature. In fact, it has multiple UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Tripitaka Koreana, Several Dolmen Sites, and Jeju’s volcanic island and lava-tube cave system.
The Beauty Of The Nature And City Can Co-Exist
