Located in the northernmost part of Korea, the Unification Observatory opened in 1984 and began construction in 1983 as the fastest observation deck to look at North Korean land to soothe the sadness and the pain of longing and strengthen the will for unification. It is a natural tourist destination visited by more than 600,000 domestic and foreign tourists annually, and is an experience center for unification and security education that directly sees and feels the reality of division. From the observation deck, the scenic view of the blue East Sea and the white sand beaches, such as Geumgangsan Mountain 12,000 Peak, Haegeumgang called Geumgangsan Mountain on the Sea, Gamho River with legends of woodcutters and fairies, and Songdo wrapped in white foam, feel like looking at a wave of watercolors. This is the site of division that soothes the sadness and sorrow of displaced people who cannot even leave their hometown a distance away while looking at North Korean land.
