How to travel to North Korea from Beijing

At present, the policy of traveling to North Korea is slightly different from before (you can travel freely in Pyongyang in a primitive and limited way). The methods are as follows:

First, you should prepare your passport, then consult the domestic travel agency in Dandong (you can go to Baidu by yourself) to determine the travel route and time, determine the number of participants, and submit the materials in the agreed way. After the DPRK confirms it, the travel agency in Dandong will give you a final confirmation (you must go to the travel agency in Dandong). When traveling to North Korea, the smaller the number of people, the higher the price. For example, if you participate in a large group of more than a dozen people, this route is absolutely fixed and the cheapest, and each person will come down about 3,. However, if two people form a group independently, they can make their own route, and the price is basically about 3-4 times that of a large group.

There are three main routes from Beijing. One is to fly from Beijing to Pyongyang and enter the country from Shun 'an in Pyongyang. The second is to take a train from Dandong to Pyongyang (not the two international train carriages hung on the tail of K27) and enter Sinuiju; The third is the Sinuiju inbound bus to Pyongyang. Although the plane is convenient, I personally recommend the train to go there. First, only the train group stays in Yangjiao Island or a hotel near the railway station in the downtown area, which is convenient for sightseeing. Second, you can see a lot of real scenery of North Korea outside Pyongyang along the way, and the train is more comfortable than the bus (the road conditions in North Korea are very poor, and you can jump out of SHI~ by bus).

If you form a group independently, you can choose a tour guide from the DPRK to pick up the group at Pyongyang Railway Station, so you can buy your own ticket to take the Beijing-Pyongyang International Union (the two international intermodal cars hanging on the tail of K27, Dandong doesn't have to get off and go directly to the country), but this ticket seems to be in short supply.

There are many uncertainties in traveling to North Korea, and it will be subject to confirmation with the travel agency in Dandong.
