Can North Korea go to South Korea?

It’s possible, but it’s not easy. South Korea and North Korea jointly operate an industrial park in Kaesong where South Korean business personnel and their families can travel there. North Korea also granted Hyundai Group the right to develop the Mount Kumgang tourist area. If Koreans join a tour group, they can go to Mount Kumgang. For North Koreans, this is more difficult and almost impossible, except, of course, for relatives of the officially separated North and South.

The areas open to foreign tourists in North Korea include Pyongyang City, Nampo City, Kaicheng City, North Korea's Hinoki Chinese People's Volunteer Army Martyrs Cemetery, Myohyang Mountain, Qibao Mountain, Yuyue Mountain, Wonsan, Paektu Mountain and other areas .

Mount Kumgang is a famous mountain in North Korea and is divided into Inner Kumgang, Outer Kumgang and Haegang. However, many tourist areas have inconvenient transportation, so Chinese tourists generally only travel to Pyongyang, Kaesong and Myohyangsan areas.

A spokesman for North Korea's Mount Kumgang International Tourism Special Zone Guidance Bureau stated on April 1, 2012 that North Korea will open Mount Kumgang to all tourists. North Korea will welcome all tourists and will make every sincerity and effort to allow tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Kumgang. In addition to general sightseeing, visitors to North Korea can enjoy North Korea's unique large-scale group gymnastics performance - "Arirang".
