In addition to tanks, you can also enter the armored personnel carrier to find out, learn more about the facilities inside, and hide in the small driver's seat to investigate the outside world. It really seems to be on the battlefield to perform missions. I don't know how many times I have been dispatched here, running out of the armored body and getting in again, I am really exhausted to death.
In the missile missile area, you can see the super spectacular 15-meter-high missiles, which are amazingly powerful at first glance. Once these huge missiles are launched, the consequences will be unimaginable. These missiles may cause countless casualties. Terrible is really frightening. Human beings should hope for world peace.

Do not enter the Seodaemun Prison in Seoul
Seodaemun Penitentiary in Seoul is a modern prison built by the Japanese government in 1907. At that time, the Japanese colonial government was carrying out assimilation policies in Korea and severely suppressed those who resisted. Anyone who violated the orders of the Japanese government would be imprisoned. This way. The prison house has preserved many precious historical materials such as prisoners’ cells, letters written by prisoners, a complete restoration of the interrogation room, etc. It is very exciting!
