What To Expect
Ganghwa Peace Observatory
Ganghwa Peace Observatory is a military observatory located in Ganghwa Island, Incheon, South Korea. It was established in 2008 as a symbol of peace and a place to learn about the historical significance of the area. The observatory overlooks the Northern Limit Line, the maritime border between South Korea and North Korea, and is a popular tourist destination. Visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding area and learn about the history of the Korean War, as well as the current state of relations between the two Koreas.
Ganghwa Hwamunseok Munhwagwan
"It is said that Ganghwa Hwamunseok (rush mats) has been developed into a handicraft industry during the Goryeo Dynasty. During the Goryeo Dynasty, Ganghwa served as the capital of Goryeo for 39 years. Wanggol mat, which was the best product among the mats at the time, was produced for the royal family and bureaucrats who moved to Ganghwa, and this historical event became the biggest background for Ganghwa Hwamunseok to have been handed down to this day. Wanggol is largely divided into roots, leaves, stems, ears, and flowers, and stems are used as materials for Hwamunseok"
