Aegibong Peak is a small mountain at Hill 154 which is situated on the boundary between Gageum-ri in Haseong-myeon and Jogang-ri in Wolgot-myeon of Gimpo-si, whose original name was “Ssukgatmeori Mountain” since it resembles a daisy crown.
It is the site of the heartwrenching myth about the Governor of Pyeongan Province and Aegi during the Qing invasion of Joseon, which has been passed down for generations, and is also a strategic military point where a fierce battle took place during the Korean War.20 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location

This is an outdoor space that highlights the heartrending beauty of Gaepung-gun in North Korea from a distance of just 1.4 kilometers, making it the closest observatory.
Jogang River
The Jogang River is located downstream of the Hangang River, where the Imjingang,
Hangang and Yeseonggang Rivers meet and flow into the West Sea. The name Jogang
means a “large river” or “grandfather river,” since it seems as vast as the ocean.
Before the Korean War, this area was a large village where around 100 households
were located. However, after the designation of the area as the “Neutral Waters
at Hangang River Estuary” in the 1953 ceasefire agreement, the villagers lost their
homes and were scattered in all directions. The Jogang River Basin, which people had
stopped visiting over the past few decades, became the repository of a diverse
ecosystem and the home to numerous endangered and protected species.1 hour • Admission Ticket FreeView Location4
