What To Expect
Ganghwa Peace Observatory
*All participants must have their passports. You can see North Korean land from Ganghwa Island, which is 70 kilometers away from Seoul. Despite being of the same ethnicity, people from South and North Korea cannot freely cross back and forth across the river that divides them. You can hear the historical story of the Korean War in 1950 and the subsequent modern history of Korea. You will spend about an hour here. (The duration includes travel time from the pickup location. )
Ganghwa Anglican Cathedral
Ganghwa Anglican Church is a place that demonstrates how western modernity and Protestantism fused with indigenous culture during the late 19th to 20th centuries in Korea. You can experience an unique atmosphere with a harmonious blend of Eastern and Western interior designs.
