The unification education site of Yanggu-gun, leading to the 4th cave, Eulji Observatory, and the War Memorial of Korea

连接到第4洞窟、乙支展望台、战争纪念馆的杨口郡统一教育现场

 
The Yanggu Unification Hall is located in the northernmost part of the Civilian Control Zone in Haean-myeon Yanggu-gun. It was built and opened to be utilized as a unification education center that would help broaden people’s understanding about the real situation in North Korea in preparation for reunification and encourage commitment for reunification. The location is 5 km away from The Fourth Tunnel, in the northern end of the punch bowl basin and it first opened in 1996. The Hall displays the specialities of Yanggu, products from North Korea, and souvenirs. Located nearby are the 4th Tunnel, Eulji Observatory, and War Memorial Museum in Yanggu. The Eulji Observatory is the northernmost located observatory in South Korea. The Fourth Tunnel is the only tunnel among the four tunnels dug by North Korea that operates electric cars, allowing visitors to travel inside. The War Memorial Museum in Yanggu was built to shed new light on the nine battles fought in Yanggu during the Korean War. The Yanggu Unification Hall deals with works related to the Eulji Observatory, the 4th Tunnel and War Memorial Museum in Yanggu.

杨口郡海岸面的Punch Bowl盆地北端建立的杨口统一馆，是可以鼓吹韩国国民的统一意志的同时可以广泛理解北韩的实际情况的统一教育的场所。常年展示可以了解韩国实际情况的生活用品、出口品与照片等，并销售着杨口郡的农特产品与北汉山物品、观光纪念品等。附近还有运行至今被发现的四个洞窟中唯一可以观赏洞窟内部的电动车的第4洞窟与乙支展望台、为了再照明6.25战争当时成为激战地的9个杨口地区战斗建立的战争纪念馆。杨口统一馆还处理第4洞窟、乙支展望台、战争纪念馆的出入相关业务。
而且，杨口统一馆还有引人注目的独特造型。那就是向进入此处的人们郑重低头问候的巨大的雕像‘问候人（Greeting Man）’。

There is also a unique statue of the ‘Greeting Man’ which draws attention. The huge sculpture bows its head down to the visitors politely. ‘Greeting Man’, reaching up to 6m in size, is a work of the sculptor Yoo Yeongho. The statue carries the hope for unification and peace. Let us expect the time when we would be able to hug the North and move towards the unification.

身高六米的问候人是雕刻家刘英浩的作品，就如其名的‘表示问候的人’。具有和平与和解、相遇等意义的问候人坐落在杨口统一馆前是因为此处就是雕刻家的故乡的同时，又是6.25战争当时的激战地。首先，看着低头问候的问候人，期待终有一天南北韩互相问候、和解，走向和平统一。
