  • Aegibong Peace Ecological Park: As Gimpo's largest peace tourism destination, Aegibong Peace Ecological Park is a symbolic place representing peace and harmony, situated in the only inter-Korean free-zone on the Korean Peninsula. It is a space that connects the will for peace in the Han River estuary, much like the Jogang River flowing to bridge severed history and culture. Furthermore, the fact that this is Hill 154, where the North and South fought fierce battles during the Korean War, serves as a reminder of the significance of Korea as the world's only divided nation. The existing Aegibong Observatory, installed in 1978 and now dilapidated, was demolished, and the park was newly renovated into Aegibong Peace Ecological Park by constructing the Peace Ecology Exhibition Hall, the Jogang Observatory, and an ecological trail.


  • Jogang Observatory: The Jogang River flows into the West Sea (Ganghwa Bay) after merging with the Han and Imjin Rivers. The observatory was named the Jogang Observatory because it is located on Aegibong Peak, which overlooks the river. It features a pleasant exhibition space and state-of-the-art telescopes.


  • Starbucks Gimpo Aegibong Ecological Park Branch: Located in Wolgot-myeon, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do, this is the only Starbucks store situated within the nation's only Civilian Control Zone. North Korea's Kaepung County is located just 1.4 km away; on clear days, Mt. Songak is visible, and visitors can catch a glimpse of the daily lives of North Korean residents with the naked eye. As it is situated near the DMZ, where civilian access is restricted, entry requires passing through a security check, making identification essential. Gaining fame as the "Starbucks with a North Korea View," the store has recorded over 800,000 cumulative visitors since its opening in late 2024 (as of February 2026), and domestic and international visitors continue to flock to the location.
