Camp Greaves served as a camp base for the 506th US Second Infantry Division for about 50 years after the ceasefire agreement of the Korean War. The land was given back to the Korean government in 2007. The camp has been turned into a peace and security experience facility, and it is located approximately 2 kilometers away from the DMZ. It is also the first youth hostel to be located within a restricted area for civilians in Paju city.An entire building of the US Army officer quarters was remodeled into a youth hostel and can accommodate up to 240 guests. The hostel is comprised of an office, a small auditorium on the first floor, rooms on the second and third floors, and a large auditorium on the fourth floor. The camp offers diverse programs including educational programs.◎ Travel information to meet Hallyu’s charmThis is where NCT Dream photographed the cover for their first full-length album, “Hot Sauce.” It has been a U.S. military base for more than 50 years, so it’s a great place to go for an outing, with a variety of exhibits and picturesque landscapes.
