P'aju Travel Guide: 28 reviews and 105 photos

The city is located just south of Panmunjeom on the 38th parallel. To defend the Korean capital, Seoul, many US and Korean army bases are set up in the city. In 2002, the northernmost Korean railway station, Dorasan, was opened. North Korean territory and Kaesong City can be seen from Mount Dora in the city. This city also includes such landmarks like the DMZ, the Jayuro Road of Freedom, the Tongilro Road of Unification, also know as National Road No. 1.

P'aju is situated only 40 km North of Seol and is a propular tourist spot for those wanting to have a look across the DMZ to North Korea.
Remember visiting some of those areas you enter into the most militarized section on this planet - therefore restrictions apply!
