Imjingang River - Hwangpo sailboat tour

On March 3, the Imjingang-Hwangpo sailboat tour began its operations. What is now a site for a leisurely sailboat tour was prohibited to civilians for the past 54 years. This ban was lifted just last year and as a result the wildlife, flora and forna have remained untouched for over half a century.The boats leave the Duji Ferry Point and make a 40 minute, 6km round trip tour along the Imjingang River. The serenity and beauty of the tour is truly amazing.

Prices start from 10,000 Won (£5)for adult. Tours leaving from the Imjingak includes use of the shuttle and the sailing itself. For further information contact the International Culture Service Club Tel: 0082-2-399-3698 or e-mail: www.i-icsc.com
