Aegibong Peace Eco Park
Aegibong Peak, located at the northern tip of Gimpo City, is about an hour’s drive from downtown Seoul. This historically significant mountain witnessed a fierce battle during the Korean War, marking the division of Korea into two nations. It is renowned for its panoramic views of both North and South Korea.
The peak is also famous for the tragic love story of a Pyeongyang governor and his mistress, separated during the Sino-Korean War in 1636. The name 'Aegibong' combines ‘Ae’ (애) meaning love, ‘gi’ (기) meaning mistress, and 'bong' (봉) meaning peak, to honor their love. In 1968, President Park Chung Hee likened their separation to the pain of divided Korean families, a sentiment memorialized at the peak.
The observatory serves for security training and houses the Mangbaedan Altar, where North Korean expatriates perform ancestral rites. It features a naval war monument and seasonal lights visible from North Korea.

Gyeonggi-do
Nestled in rural South Korea, Rice Flower Farmer is a cultural and agricultural site dedicated to celebrating Korea’s rich farming heritage and honoring those who have shaped its agricultural traditions.
Here, guests will take part in a Gochujang-Making Workshop, crafting their own batch of Korea’s iconic red chili paste to bring home. Following this, enjoy an authentic Bibimbap meal, featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients—a true taste of rural Korea.
The site also offers cultural exhibits, hands-on farming activities, and seasonal festivals that bring Korean rural traditions to life. A farming museum further enriches the experience, preserving and educating visitors on sustainable farming practices and the historical roots of Korean agriculture.
The experience includes a unique Hand-Drip Coffee Workshop: use a traditional stone grinder to grind locally grown, organic coffee beans, then brew your own hand-drip coffee to savor its freshness..
