Decide before shaping the day

Who this region fits

Paju suits travelers choosing between a border-history day around Imjingak and DMZ Peace Tourism, and an art-and-books day around Heyri and Paju Book City.

Arrival and movement decision

The current set product is a DMZ-focused route from Imjingak through the 3rd Tunnel, Dorasan Observatory and Dorasan Station. If Heyri, Provence or Paju Book City is your priority, do not assume they are part of that product; ask for a separate charter route.
