A 4km wide area known as The DMZ (demilitarized zone) this is a funny name since it possibly has some of the greatest military presence anywhere on the Korean peninsula, but entirely on the edges of it. It is 2km on either side of the 38th parallel. This area is filled with mines and has become the greatest natural preservation area on the peninsula. No one has been there since the war ended. You can take a tour of the DMZ and on the tour you can see the recently re established train line running from Dora Station to Pyongyang in North Korea, where South Korea has set up all kinds of factories in cooperation with North Korea.

The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The Korean Peninsula was divided along the 38th Parallel in 1948 but this line of division changed somewhat following the cease-fire at the end of the Korean War in 1953. The DMZ has been the site of numerous armistice talks and negotiations, both during and after the war. Panmunjeom is where the armistice ending the Korean War was negotiated and finally signed. It is located approximately 56 kilometers north of Seoul and is a popular tourist destination.

Implanting in North Korea in the process the reign of Kim Il Sung psychology "besieged fort" has continuously had its opposite area the prefer to do away with the risk of pre-emptive strike is continuously anticipate an attack from the south.

the dmz, go to youtube and look it up. there is a clip from globetrekker. the guy enters the building on the south korean side and half of it belongs to north korea. the soldier was telling him to go to the north korean side, and i guess the guy was too scared to do it. i would be too, they would probably shoot me down.

those of us that have worked near it and the vicinity call it the "BAF" big *** fence......you as a civilian can only get close to the southern boundary...you cant physically go to the Demarcation Line unless on a tour.....most visited in the Western Corridor.....can actually get closer near the punchbowl in the eastern corridor
