DMZ Peace Trail opens in Paju
Visitors at the DMZ Peace Trail take a photo on the opening day of the tourist site in Paju, northern Gyeonggi Province, Saturday. The trails near the Demilitarized Zone separating the two Koreas involving the three inter-Korean border villages ― Goseong, Cheorwon and Paju ― were opened to the public after the inter-Korean Sept. 19 military agreement which aims to ease military tension between the Koreas.
