Hi, I’m Tabi!

Paju’s historical, woodland and art sites span several neighborhoods. Start with Imjingak or Heyri, checking transport between separate areas.

This guide covers places within Paju, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Begin in Imjingak’s visitor area and nearby memorial spaces. Restricted areas and DMZ visits have separate conditions; save the arboretum or Heyri for another outing.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
