Camp Greaves
캠프 그리브스
A former US army base inside the civilian control line, two kilometres from the DMZ's southern limit. Visiting means applying to the military in advance and passing an ID check. The set the drama built is gone; what remains is the base itself.

Nearby
Imjingak
Imjingak is the last place you can reach without permission. Everything beyond it — the tunnel, the observatory, the station — needs an ID check and a booked seat, and all three depart from here. Treat it as both a destination and a departure gate.
Dora Observatory
What is on the other side is itemised rather than left vague: Songhaksan in Kaesong, the Kim Il-sung statue, Kijong-dong, the edge of Kaesong city and the Geumam-gol collective farm, with the Kaesong Industrial Complex visible on a clear day.
Third Infiltration Tunnel
The departure time you book decides how you go down. Paju marks each shuttle either monorail or on foot, and describes the walking route as cramped and steeply graded — which is why the operator publishes a list of who may be refused entry.
Paju Jangneung Royal Tomb
The joint tomb of Injo and Queen Inyeol. When it was moved, the old stone figures were kept alongside newly carved ones, so seventeenth- and eighteenth-century tomb statuary stands side by side.
