Desire for reuniting

Easy access by subway or bus. Bus 2200 or 7300 from Hapjeong station will get you there. After you get off you can walk about 40 minutes to the entrance of the area, then you’ll have to walk up the mountain to get to the building entrance. Or take a city bus then walk or take a shuttle bus next to Tongildongsan bus stop. The shuttle runs from noon to 1540 according to the brochure at 30 minutes increments. This place shared with the visitors the ideals of reuniting the two Koreas. There are 4 floors. B1 is a children interactive learning center. The first floor shares different statistics and facts, virtual views, and an exhibit. The second floor is the permanent exhibit with pictures of people wanting to reunite with families and letters to there hometown. There’s a cafe on the fourth floor. On the third and fourth floor there are binoculars to observe and look at the border across. I think you could feel the people’s desire to reconnect with their families. The sadness this division has caused and yet curious about how it looks across the water way. #Odusan #ReunificationTower #Paju #korea #history
