*About the locations
▲ Ganghwa Peace Observatory
Ganghwa Peace Observatory is a 4-story building with the basement and 4th floor accessible only to military personnel. Visitors can learn about the in-depth history and background of the war. On the third floor, visitors can enjoy stunning views of North Korean mountains and housings and learn about North Korea.
▲ Jeondeungsa Temple & Jukrim Teahouse
Jeondeungsa is a historic Buddhist temple dating back to the 4th century of the Goguryeo era, making it one of the nation's oldest temples. It is famous for its stunning architecture, particularly the Daeungbojeon Hall, which is adorned with detailed wooden carvings and paintings. Within the temple grounds is Jukrim Teahouse, where visitors can experience the traditional Korean tea culture.
▲ Incheon Daeryong Market
Daeryong Market is a unique and exclusive place for tourists to visit, as it requires permission to enter from Haebyeongdae, the Korean marine corps that protects the nation from North Korea. The market has many shops that offer a wide range of items, including fresh seafood, fruits, traditional Korean snacks, and household goods. The market has a distinctive retro 1970-1980s Korean vibe, which cannot be found in Seoul.
▲ Hwagae Garden

The park's highlight is the Hwagae Pavilion, a breathtaking observatory that provides a sky walking experience and an impressive view of North Korea.
