Aegibong Peace Eco Park
Aegibong is famous for the place where displaced people often visit. After the Korean War, many displaced people missed their homes and visited Aegibong to see their hometown. Also, famous for the Starbucks cafe on the observatory now. The old observatory was established in 1978, but was demolished and it was renewed by the name of Jogang observatory where you can see the northern land from the closest distance. Used to known with a huge Christmas tree, but Christmas lights were too bright to N. Korea and it caused conflict due to lack of electricity in N. Korea. The tree was removed, but Aegibong Peace Ecopark workers built the bridges in shape of the tree. This Ecopark is a symbolic place representing peace and harmony.
