The Paju Imjingak Peace Gondola is South Korea’s first cable car system designed to cross into the restricted Civilian Control Zone. Located within the Imjingak Tourist Complex in Paju, Gyeonggi-do, this transit line transports visitors across the Imjin River between Imjingak Resort and Camp Greaves. The aerial route provides direct views of DMZ military infrastructure, including historic barbed-wire fences and watchtowers, alongside the region's preserved natural ecosystems. Visitors can choose between standard cabins or crystal cabins, which feature transparent glass floors for vertical visibility. Because the gondola enters the Civilian Controlled Zone, all passengers must fulfill strict military security protocols by presenting a valid passport or government-issued ID and completing a mandatory security pledge at the ticket office before boarding.

This DMZ excursion can be paired with a one-hour cultural tour at a nearby Korean ginseng farm in Paju. The agricultural experience focuses on the heritage, cultivation methods, and health benefits of the Korean root. During the farm visit, guests walk through specialized shaded fields to learn about the multi-year cultivation process required for traditional ginseng. The tour includes an interactive session where visitors see, touch, and practice harvesting fresh roots, followed by an educational overview of various commercial ginseng-based products and their role in regional wellness traditions. This combination makes the Paju itinerary an efficient day trip for travelers studying the modern military history and agricultural heritage of South Korea.
