Mt. Ohdu Unification Observatory, Military observatory in Paju, South Korea.

The five-story observatory stands at the intersection of the Han and Imjin rivers, offering views of North Korean territories and Seoul landmarks.

The observatory, established in 1992, occupies a location that witnessed conflicts between the Goguryeo and Baekje Dynasties during the Three Kingdoms period.

The North Korea and Unification Rooms present photographs, maps, and educational materials documenting the separation between the two Korean nations.

Visitors can reach the facility by taking bus 2200 or 200 from Hapjeong station in Seoul to Seongdong Sageori, followed by a shuttle service.

The observatory reveals the stark contrast between South Korean urban development and North Korean rural landscapes across a 2-kilometer water divide.
