What are the taboos for traveling to North Korea?

As far as I know, traveling to North Korea has its own taboos in taking photos, talking, etiquette and life, as follows:

North Korean tourists can only travel in groups, not alone. This is a strict rule. All visa formalities must be sent to the designated travel agency in China.

Entry matters

You can't carry mobile phones, computers, telephoto cameras and radios after entering the country. If found, it may be confiscated, please pay attention, otherwise it will suffer huge losses. Therefore, when tourists enter the country, it is best to store these things at the China Pass.

In addition, North Korea stipulates that Korean goods cannot be brought into the country, forged identity cards cannot be used, and newspapers and magazines cannot be brought. In particular, large-scale unused Korean won cannot be brought abroad. If it is not used up, please change it into RMB.

Taboo of taking pictures

North Korea is not allowed to take photos of soldiers and ragged farmers, and portraits of leaders should be taken in full. This is a tribute, and you can't imitate the leader's posture to take pictures. In addition, photographs are not allowed on the way from Sinuiju to Pyongyang.

You can't take pictures of the scenery outside the window on a station wagon, which is very different from European countries.

When visiting the great man's building, don't make serious jokes and make noise. Bow before flowering, and then pat the leader all over.

The photos taken by tourists when they leave the North Korean customs will be investigated by border guards, and if the photos are unqualified, they will be deleted or fined.

Conversation taboo

In North Korea, leaders cannot be directly called by their first names. Do you want to add it to the front? Great leader? Can't mention it? Korea? This word. If you have to say it, you can only say it? Korea? .

Can't call the waiter during the conversation? Miss? . Although the language is different, the meaning is similar. In their view, this is just an insult.

You can't laugh at the feelings of North Koreans who love their leaders. This is extremely disrespectful to the other side, not to mention discussing the issue of leadership in private.

Etiquette taboo

The audience must endure when they can't see the toilet while playing. Because North Korea is not allowed to hide in grass or trees. Because if you see it, you will run away as a tow team. ?

North Korea is a country that loves cleanliness. Never throw rubbish into the car. You can't send things to North Korean children or buy things to eat. Unreasonable requirements for the purchase of badges are not allowed. Respect the national government when playing. Travel routes and itineraries must be arranged by North Korean tour guides.

At night, tourists are not allowed to leave the hotel without authorization, secretly visit relatives and friends or go to local shops to buy things. In order to sell necessities, North Korea has set up tourist shops.

When playing, you must be accompanied by Korean official tour guides and inspectors. It is forbidden to play at will or distribute items to the Korean people. This is to prevent people with ulterior motives from mixing into North Korea. In addition, tourists can't marry local girls or boys. ?

North Korea allows the use of RMB, USD and Euro, with no limit on the amount, but it is absolutely not allowed to use North Korean currency. North Korea has friendship shops, souvenir shops and accommodation hotels specially set up for shopping.

North Korea's eating habits are mainly raw and cold, but the collective diet satisfies the tastes of different tourists from all over the world to the greatest extent. Because of the food shortage in North Korea. Because tourists with special dietary needs need to bring their own food allowed to enter North Korea.

As a developing country, North Korea's hotels offer limited projects and types, and there are frequent power outages, so when traveling, you should be mentally prepared and have some items.
