You step out of an air-conditioned van into a wind that seems to read the map of the peninsula — cool, direct, and oddly quiet. The road to the DMZ narrows, rice paddies and low hills giving way to fenced corridors and observation posts. Guides move with practiced calm; the landscape keeps its history in plain sight.
