Itinerary

1. Aegibong Peace Eco Park
Aegibong Peak, located at the northern tip of Gimpo City, is about an hour’s drive from downtown Seoul. This historically significant mountain witnessed a fierce battle during the Korean War, marking the division of Korea into two nations. It is renowned for its panoramic views of both North and South Korea. The peak is also famous for the tragic love story of a Pyeongyang governor and his mistress, separated during the Sino-Korean War in 1636. The name 'Aegibong' combines ‘Ae’ (애) meaning love, ‘gi’ (기) meaning mistress, and 'bong' (봉) meaning peak, to honor their love. In 1968, President Park Chung Hee likened their separation to the pain of divided Korean families, a sentiment memorialized at the peak. The observatory serves for security training and houses the Mangbaedan Altar, where North Korean expatriates perform ancestral rites. It features a naval war monument and seasonal lights visible from North Korea.
