Tongak-Gil is the North's Unification Pavilion. Twice a day calls are placed between this building and Peace House, its counterpart on the South side. It plays hosts to meetings to discuss things such as the recent railway link between the North and South. Not really much to see here, just more rooms. Of course, it wasn't really built with tourists in mind. And in my case, many rooms were closed to me, and there were no papers of any kind to be seen.
