A thin strip of land separates the calm surface of the lake from the East Sea. The pine trees and silence create the feeling of an ideal place. For a dacha. So ideal that the first leaders of both North and South Korea built their dachas right here, just a few hundred meters from each other.
You're standing, incidentally, north of the 38th parallel, looking out to sea from territory that once belonged to the North. A few kilometers further north, and you have a unique opportunity to see North Korea itself. The space itself tells us the tragic story of the Two Countries.
