In addition, in response to the requests of tourists who have participated over the past year, the city will add "Dora Observatory" to the tour course and shorten the total tour time from 5 hours to 4 hours and 20 minutes, reopening the program with these changes.
The "Dorasan Shuttle Train Linked Tour" is a tourism program that circulates around major attractions near Dorasan Station using the only regular train service between Imjingang Station and Dorasan Station, in combination with a tour bus. Starting August 8, a special event will be held in conjunction with the first anniversary, featuring the "Stamp Tour."
For the "Stamp Tour," participants must visit all five attractions on the linked tour course: Dorasan Station, South-North Immigration Office, Dora Observatory, Tongilchon, and the Third Tunnel. At each site, visitors collect a stamp shaped after the location. Those who complete the "Stamp Tour" will receive a commemorative gift.
The "Dorasan Shuttle Train Linked Tour" operates once on the second Friday of every month, with a maximum of 200 participants per session. Those wishing to join can apply in advance through the DMZ Peace Tourism online reservation website starting August 1. For more information, inquiries can be made to the Tourism Cooperation Team of the Paju City Tourism Division.
Han Yunja, head of the Tourism Division, stated, "The Dorasan Shuttle Train offers a unique opportunity to visit the Civilian Control Line by train, allowing tourists to directly experience the message of peace. We will continue to contribute to the revitalization of DMZ tourism through stable and ongoing operations."
