What's Panmunjeom ?

The demilitarized zone(hereafter DMZ),151miles long across the Korean Peninsula from the Han River estuary in the west part to the point just below the latitude 39° on the east coast and 4km wide from the center of this zone has been undeveloped for several decades since the truce was signed at Panmunjeom, where was called Neolmunri for the first time. It runs the Military  Demarcation line(herafter MDL) bisecting the Joint Security Area(hereafter JSA), where the meetings and conferences are held. At the front of the Conference Building in JSA, two parts of soldiers, the south and the north are on the guard standing with an alert to watch each other in a few distance. Visitors can experience the atmosphere like the tension of cold war and the fresh air of natural DMZ as well. No one can enter into the JSA without identification in advance. It would be more right to name DMZ Orientation Field Lesson than DMZ Panmunjeom Tour. In this reason, Panmunjeom is one of the most popular tour course of attraction of Korea.
