Starbucks opens cafe with views of North Korea in South Korea

Starbucks has opened a new cafe in South Korea, located in an observation tower near the border with North Korea. This 30-seat cafe at Aegibong Peace Ecopark allows customers to view North Korea while enjoying their coffee. The cafe's opening on November 29 attracted many visitors, who can see farms and buildings in North Korea on clear days. It offers a unique perspective for those interested in the reclusive nation, complementing existing DMZ tours. This development comes as North Korea plans to reopen limited international tourism by the end of the year, following a long closure due to the pandemic. Tensions remain high between the two Koreas, with recent threats from North Korea's leader.
