Dora Observatory
Dora observatory is an observation post overlooking North Korea located in 310 Je3(sam) ttanggul-ro, Jangdan-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea.
Dora Observatory is on the South Korean side of the 38th parallel. Situated on top of Dorasan (Mount Dora) in Paju, the observatory provides scenic views across the Demilitarized Zone. Visitors can see the North Korea territory through binoculars from the 304 square feet, 500-person capacity observatory. They are able to see the North Korean propaganda village situated in the DMZ, and can also see the city of Kaesong. The observatory is very close to the Third North Korean Infiltration Tunnel dug by North Koreans into the South. The Dorasan Station, also nearby, is designed to be the station that connects the railroads of the South and North one day in the future.

When I took a tour to visit the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in South Korea, Dora observatory was one of the main highlights not to be missed!
The Dora observatory is located on the top of Mount Dora in Paju and visitors can use binoculars to see the North Korean territory. On a windy day, visitors can even see South Korea’s and North Korea’s flags flying on their respective flagpoles through binoculars.
My rating of this attraction: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!
