Agence France-Presse (Hyung-jin Kim, "NORTH KOREAN LEADER'S FORMER HOME OPEN TO TOURISTS", Hwajinpo Beach, 2008/12/21) reported that a house known as "The Castle" where DPRK leader Kim Jong Il lived as a child is now a tourist site in the ROK. The ROK is planning to expand tourism on its side of the border, and has encouraged tour operators to dream up projects such as ecological parks showing off the rare wildlife flourishing in the demilitarized zone . A new Korean War museum just north of Kim's former villa is scheduled to open in March.
