Questions about buying gold jewelry in North Korea

When traveling, you won’t see gold jewelry. The three days are full. There are no gold jewelry for sale in the store the tour guide takes you to. All they sell are local products: ginseng (from Kaesong, North Korea). Korean ginseng is great and is almost impossible to find in China. Taobao is all fake. There are many Cantonese people who spend thousands of yuan to buy dozens of boxes of ginseng and take them back home. The ingredients are synthetic, while the North Korean ones are real bezoar imported from Africa)... You can rest assured when buying these expensive things in North Korea, there are no fakes.

There is almost no chance for tourists to step out of the hotel door alone (yes, it is too late, it is dark outside with no lights, and you can't see anything).

It is okay to buy ginseng and its peripheral products in North Korea, such as ginseng wine, ginseng candy, bear bile, deer antlers, handicrafts, stamps, Korean clothes and other small souvenirs, but forget about gold jewelry. Women can buy North Korean ginseng series skin care products, which are very cheap. One of the lotions contains a ginseng tree. But you can’t buy more, as the shelf life is only one year. These are all North Korean exports.
