About About the place

The Ganghwa Peace Observatory provides visitors with a rare opportunity to view North Korea from a close distance. Situated on Ganghwa Island, the observatory features exhibits detailing the history of the Korean War and the ongoing division of the peninsula. Guests can utilize telescopes for a closer look, explore a memorial area, and reflect on the poignant messages left by those affected by the division. The facility is fully accessible and offers a video presentation in multiple languages. While the views are weather-dependent, the observatory offers a powerful and thought-provoking experience.

It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!

The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!. This is an immensely historic place which is enormously significant in the times of past. The visit to this place fills you up with a lot of emotions and little remorse for a while but is worth a visit because of its magnificent views.
