From here transfer to pic up Air Line Train and get down at G.National University and the take bus route no 5000 for Munsan. From Munsan we have to pic up Bus no 58/93 for Imzingok. Before moving forward it is good to enjoy the adventurous games as well as to know about some historical facts and the boarder Jorasan observatory (the last point for civilian to reach near the boarder) is also visible from here which is about 70 km from this place .













From Imjin Gak we have to take ticket to pic up tourist bus for boarder area Jorasan the last civilian terminal point just before 30 km from the boarder line.However the trans border the North Korean Area is clearly visible through telescope.

 
Jorasan Railway Station
From here we went by bus to Jorasan observatory to see the boarder more closely: across  the Jimgang  river is the North Korea.







From this civilian boarder area we returned to Jorasan tunnel (here the photography is prohibited). To enter in the tunnel is very exciting. We have to cover the steep  slop of about 250 meters to reach the tunnel which goes to the North Korea but there are three walls as barrier between the boarder line in the tunnel.
