The Highlight
In the deep mountains of Gangwon-do, nestled within serene nature seemingly cut off from the world, lies a truly special place — Hwacheon Chilseong Observatory. Known as “the closest place to the sky where peace resides,” this site offers a deeply moving experience. From here, you can take in the sweeping views of the winding Bukhangang River and Hwacheon Lake beneath a clear sky, and even gaze upon the northern landscapes in the distance. More than just a tourist attraction, the observatory is a meaningful space where nature and historical reflection coexist.
📍 A profound sense of reality felt closest to North Korea Located only a few kilometers from the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), the Chilseong Observatory stands on a front-line high ground. With telescopes, visitors can clearly see the mountains and villages of North Korea. Standing here, the division of the Korean Peninsula feels almost within reach, and the longing for peace becomes deeply etched in your heart.
This is a place where South Korean soldiers have fixed their gaze for decades in defense of the nation — and now, it is one of the rare places where civilians can also confront the gravity of that reality and the hope that lies beyond. It is not merely a travel destination, but a starting point for a meaningful and reflective journey.
📍 Alpaca World is home not only to adorable alpacas but also goats, rabbits, horses, deer, and peacocks. Visitors can enjoy close-up interactions with these animals. With feeding experiences, photo zones, and animal shows designed especially for children, it is a popular destination for families.
Walking alongside alpacas in the crisp, refreshing air and gazing warmly at these lovable creatures offers adults a sense of peace and emotional healing as well. This animal haven is more than just a zoo — it’s a valuable educational space where children can learn to appreciate nature and respect all living beings.
