Things to know
About the Activity
*A minimum of 4 participants is required. If fewer than 4 people register, the tour may be canceled. Step into Korea’s hidden history with our immersive Cheorwon DMZ tour—a powerful journey through one of the most heavily fortified yet lesser-known border regions. Start your day with a convenient pick-up from Seoul, then head to the 2nd Infiltration Tunnel, an underground route once carved for covert movement during high tensions. Continue to the Cheorwon Peace Observatory, where you’ll get a clear view across the border into North Korea. After a break for lunch (not included), visit the Korean Workers’ Party Headquarters, a haunting structure that reflects Korea’s divided past. Then, take in the serene beauty of Cheorwon from above aboard the Soisan Monorail, surrounded by peaceful landscapes that contrast sharply with the area’s turbulent history.10 hours

Soisan Monorail is located within the Cheorwon History and Culture Park. This monorail travels up to the summit of Soisan Mountain, operating a round-trip route of 1.8 km. Along the way, passengers can enjoy panoramic views of the expansive plains of Jaesongpyeong at the foot of Soisan.
The monorail provides easy access to the Soisan Observatory, and on the way down, riders are treated to a stunning view of the entire History and Culture Park area. Unlike typical side-opening windows, the monorail features a unique two-panel glass shield that opens vertically. Each car accommodates up to 8 passengers, with four monorails in operation. They run 8 times per hour at 7-minute intervals, and each ride takes approximately 10 minutes.
Due to its popularity, reservations for the Soisan Monorail are essential. However, on occasion, same-day tickets may be available on-site, so it’s advised to call ahead to check. Pregnant individuals and infants under 36 months are not permitted to ride.1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location
