Yeonpyeong Island, Looking into North Korea from South Korea (11km, #Yeonpyeongdo )

Yeonpyeongdo, or Yeonpyeong Island, is a South Korean island just 11 kilometers from North Korea. It is situated very close to the Northern Limit Line (NLL, the maritime North-South Korean border) and has had a tumultuous history, with conflicts in 1999, 2002, and 2010.

Because of its location, all the islands around you belong to North Korea, and there are designated spots & observatories to peer into North Korean life.

You can visit it as a fun weekend out of Seoul. It's definitely different from a simple visit to the blue huts at the DMZ (Panmunjom) that everyone goes to. This island is a nice glimpse into more traditional and peaceful South Korean life.

🧳 I joined this tour as part of Koryo Tours' 'North Korea from a Distance' tour that follows the North-South Korean border from West to East, as well as visiting Yeonpyeong Island. Any questions about the tour post them below! It's led by my good friend and colleague Greg and other North Korean experts. More info 👇

Thank You!!!

Thanks to everyone who watches my channel and enjoys the videos. Especially during this time when the DPRK borders are still closed.

Rest assured, I'll be fully back once they're finally open again.

The biggest thanks to my Patrons who have supported me this whole time.
