Dorasan Station

The station is ready for welcoming passengers of the line from Seoul to Pyongyang. A really brand new train station operational at Dorasan, the last stop before the demarcation line.

The station is empty with the exception of a few employees, and a soldier guarding the access of the plaform to Pyongyan. This is the last stop before the North. Everything is ready for the unification of the two Korea.

The "official" stamp put on our passport at Dorasan, indicating you are ready to embark for the North. A peaceful message for a future unified Korea...

And, to conclude this short tour of the DMZ, here is a pic of the model of Panmunjeon, as displayed in the War Memorial of Korea, in Seoul.

In this model, the North is on he right, the South on the left.

I can only recommand its visit.
