KAESONG

Kaesong (also written as Kaeson) is in the south of North Korea, not far from the demarcation line with South Korea. It is a modern town with broad avenues. However there also is an old center between the main road and the river, with many traditional buildings. Kaesong is an historical town. It was the capital of Koryo (918-1392) and still has many sights from that period. For that reason Kaesong should not be missed. Kaesong also is the gateway to Panmunjom.
