preparation

1. Please bring your original ID card with you for occasional inspection by Chinese border guards (the border guards will only check and check the ID card if they have the same name as the inspectors).

2. The North Korean Customs does not allow guests to bring their mobile phones into the country. Please store your mobile phones before leaving the country. If you forget to deposit it, please contact our Chinese team leader in time. Cameras, camcorders, Mp3, telescopes, etc. can be carried now; Newspapers and magazines can be carried, but pay attention to the pictures above not to be too naked; Articles bearing the national flags and national emblems of the United States and South Korea are not allowed; North Korean customs focuses on checking mobile phones.

3. You can hardly buy fruit in North Korea, so you can bring your own in Dandong; Mineral water can be bought in North Korea, just bring one or two bottles; North Korea's team meals ensure that guests are full, so they don't have to buy too much food. It is often seen that guests give instant noodles to others when they return to China. In fact, North Korea can buy instant noodles and biscuits, and there are restaurants in the hotel to consume, so there is no need to worry about starvation. You can also buy some China cigarettes as souvenirs for Panmunjom People's Army. You can buy some small stationery or gifts for innocent and lovely children when you visit the Children's Palace. These are all voluntary.

Hint [edit this paragraph] * It is not allowed to take photos on the way from Sinuiju to Pyongyang, let alone throw souvenirs to Koreans out of the window out of friendship. According to Korean national customs, it is extremely impolite to throw things to others.

* The Korean people respect and love their leaders, and everyone should do as the Romans do and respect the national conditions of North Korea. You should not imitate the leader's posture or sit and take photos when visiting the statue of the leader; Don't comment on the leader; Don't comment on North Korea's economic situation.

* You are not allowed to visit relatives and friends or leave the group during the trip.

* North Korea, like China, is a well-known etiquette country in the East, so we should pay attention to civilization and hygiene, be civilized tourists, control our drinking capacity, don't talk loudly when eating, don't smoke where there is no ashtray, keep the station wagon clean, and don't spit everywhere, so as to bring the good image of the reform, opening up, prosperity and strong China people to the North Korean people.

* There are no restrictions on the specifications of cameras, but recently, when tourists enter and leave the North Korean customs, North Korean border guards occasionally check the photos in their digital cameras. As long as they find that they think the photos are unqualified, they will delete the photos or impose fines. In fact, North Korea has not yet made it clear: what can and cannot be photographed, so: it is best for everyone to prepare two memory cards in advance in China. When entering and leaving the North Korean customs, Take out the card that stores a lot of photos and put it in the big luggage (the inspection of big luggage is relatively loose), and replace it with a blank card or a card that you think is absolutely fine (just the small-capacity card that comes with the camera), so you can be sure. If individual North Korean customs officers impose fines on their guests, don't panic. If you want to argue, you can ask the DPRK to show the relevant North Korean laws and regulations to explain the basis of their fines. If there is no legal and regulatory basis, you can completely refuse to pay the fines. In addition, when you go through customs, you'd better not carry your camera on your body, but put it in your big luggage. Remember not to take pictures when you go through customs. Please try to keep a low profile. Film cameras do not have such problems.

* When North Korea adopted the East Kowloon District, the time in North Korea was one hour faster than that in Beijing, and the watch was set one hour ahead. The trip in North Korea was based on the time in North Korea.

* Renminbi is welcome for shopping in North Korea. Visitors generally visit two or three souvenir shops, all of which are foreign exchange shops, similar to the Friendship Store in China. The prices are mostly euros, and the goods are expensive. The waiter will settle with you in RMB. The general ratio is 1 euro to 11 yuan RMB. The waiter likes to accept RMB very much, because it is more convenient to change RMB, and there is no need to exchange Korean currency, because the shops where foreign guests go can't use Korean currency. In North Korea, according to the official rate, 1 RMB is exchanged for 17 won, but it can be exchanged for hundreds of yuan on the black market. According to the rate in the first half of 28, 1 RMB can be exchanged for about 3 won on the black market in North Korea. However, for foreigners, Korean won is useless and can only be used as a souvenir, because foreigners are not allowed to enter and visit the supply and marketing cooperatives or shops where North Koreans go, and the reception staff of the DPRK will not arrange guests to visit these places. Remember: during their stay in North Korea. Foreigners can only go shopping in foreign exchange stores, and can only use RMB or other foreign currencies. In these stores, if you buy more than 5 yuan, you can try to bargain.

* The voltage of North Korea Hotel is 22V, and the room also has a flat socket. If you can't find a socket for charging your video camera or digital camera, you can go to the hotel reception desk for help, and a Chinese-speaking waiter will serve you. International long-distance calls can be made in the hotel. Dial China and 17 yuan RMB per minute.
