The Cheorwon Plain, a sprawling area of rice paddies near South Korea's central border with North Korea, in Cheorwon, Gangwon Province, turns a golden hue on Sept. 2, 2026, ahead of the rice harvesting season in front of the demilitarized zone (DMZ), a 4-kilometer-wide buffer separating the two Koreas. Behind the DMZ is North Korea's Pyongang Highland. (Yonhap)
