Tourist Attractions in Panmunjeom

Now Panmunjom has become a tourist spot for foreign tourists. Guests visiting the north are usually arranged to visit Panmunjeom. South Korea also uses Panmunjeom as a tourist route. However, visitors here are not allowed to wear jeans, sandals, shorts or sportswear, and their hair must be neat. If you do not comply with the above regulations, you may be criticized by the other party. In addition, tourists are not allowed to move around freely. The vehicle you are traveling in must also transfer to a special vehicle from the Joint Security Area at the Boniface Military Camp on the periphery. After passing two military police checkpoints, you can enter Panmunjom.

As long as there is an opportunity, foreign leaders will also come here. Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, German Chancellor Kohl, and former Australian Prime Minister Keating have all visited the Korean side of Panmunjom. On July 11, 1993, U.S. President Clinton visited the "Bridge of No Return" just a stone's throw away from North Korea.
