Thomas, there are public tours of two areas of the DMZ. My stepson has been teaching English in Korea for the last 10 years. He drove us to Imjingang where we purchased tickets, given passes for the tour and purchased rail tickets for the train ride to Dorasan station. Once at Dorasan we boarded a tour bus that drove us to two stops. The first was a civilian observation post where high powered binoculars could be used to look over the 4 km DMZ separating the north and south. Photography at that point overlooking the DMZ was strictly prohibited. The guards would make you delete or they would delete any photos taken. Believe me, I saw the guards do it to the public at the observation point. From there the bus took us to Tunnel #3 of seven tunnels that were discovered that North Korea had built under the DMZ. There was a tour that took the public down to the tunnel. Everyone had to lock all belongs in lockers before boarding the mine train for the tour of the tunnel. I wasn't allowed on the tour of the tunnel because I was wearing an insulin pump. There was a very nice small park at the tunnel that I walked around waiting for the return of the mine train. It was there that I shot the photo of the daisies. The entire road along the route had wire with the red mine warning signs hanging about every 10 meters. I thought some areas were fake but others were live. From there the tour bus returned to Dorasan station. You surrendered your passes to the guards before going through the turnstiles and you took the train back to Imjingang. All in all, it was an interesting experience.
