The South Korea DMZ has plenty of activities for those looking to understand geopolitics and history. For example, on a typical DMZ trip, you will see Imjingak Park, which was built as a safe space where the newly arrived refugees from North Korea received consolation. You’ll pass by the Unification Pond, the design of which is modelled after the shape of the Korean peninsula. This is a beautiful spot to take photos! Right next to the pond, you’ll find Peace Bell.

You will see the Freedom bridge built to liberate 12,773 prisoners in 1953. The bridge was used by South Koreans returning home from the North. Located against a beautiful natural backdrop, the bridge is a fantastic place for photos.
