Odusan Unification Observatory opened on September 8, 1992, to soothe the sorrow of separated families and serve as an experiential center for unification education. At the summit of Odusan, where Goguryeo and Baekje vied for control, visitors can see the scenic confluence of the Han River flowing from the south and the Imjin River from the north as they merge and flow into the West Sea. From here, you can also see the mountains and rivers of Hwanghae Province in North Korea, as well as the lives of North Korean residents, which are visible but inaccessible. Inside the observatory, various exhibition halls use diverse techniques to easily convey the government's unification policy, the footprints of unification efforts by successive administrations, and the realities of North Korea. Since its opening, Odusan Unification Observatory has welcomed over 20 million visitors and has become an international hall of unification education, frequented by both Korean citizens and foreigners.
