A Day Trip from Seoul: Aegibong (Gimpo) Image Hall Left Me Moved for Over 30 Minutes

Visiting "Aegibong (애기봉)" in Gimpo for the first time, I was surprised to find that it’s not just an observation deck but a place that made me reflect deeply on the history and humanity between North and South Korea. Originally a lookout point facing North Korea, "Aegibong" holds a unique geographical position. On clear days, you can even see North Korean buildings and land across the border. The newly designed exhibition space here is incredibly modern, blending historical narratives with digital imagery, encouraging visitors to slow down and immerse themselves. The video shown in the exhibition lasts about 10 minutes, and the combination of light, shadow, and music is profoundly moving. 📍How to Get There: - Driving or hiring a car is recommended; it’s about an hour from Hongdae in Seoul. - Alternatively, take the subway to Gimpo city center and transfer to a taxi. 🎫 Admission: Free 🕘 Opening Hours: 09:00–18:00 (Closed on Mondays) ✨ Why Visit? - A lesser-known spot, perfect for peaceful sightseeing. - The exhibition combines art and history, offering deep and non-preachy content. - Ideal for cultural explorers or those interested in the history of the Korean Peninsula. 🔍 Helpful Tips: - It’s windy here, so dress warmly, especially on the observation platform. - No reservations are needed, but it can get crowded on holidays; weekdays are quieter. - If traveling with elderly companions, the venue is equipped with elevators and accessible facilities.
