North China will be open to Korean tourists?

According to media reports, the South Korean government decided to open northern China as an outbound tourist destination for China citizens. After the formal implementation document is signed, we can choose a suitable time to start the DPRK citizens' delegation to the north of China. In addition, the National Tourism Administration also agreed to set up a non-profit tourism office in Shenyang, Liaoning, China.

So far, the China government has signed tourism agreements with many countries in the world, including developed countries and regions such as Europe, the United States, Japan and Australia, and backward regions such as Africa. Now that an agreement has been reached with North Korea, ordinary Koreans undoubtedly have another choice. So, what is the attraction of the trip to North Korea?

North Korea is China's traditional friendly country and a "socialist country" in history. There are scenic spots such as Mount Kumgang, historical sites such as the 38th parallel, and world-famous large-scale group gymnastics performances such as Arirang. It can be said that there are many reasons why North China can attract South Koreans, at least not less than South Korea.

But for most people, these are not the most critical factors, and the mystery may be the most attractive place in North Korea. It is one of the most closed countries in the world, isolated from the world for a long time. Its unique political system and personal worship of political leaders have also aroused the curiosity of many people in the world. China and North Korea are going the same way. Some people say that going to North Korea is like going back in time, going back to China 30 years ago. Some people can be nostalgic, while others can discuss the disadvantages of the old system and get some useful thoughts. Moreover, the situation in North Korea is unpredictable, and what its future is and where it will go is a huge question mark. Today, North China is open to South Korean tourists for some reason, mostly for economic reasons, but who can guarantee that one year later, it will suddenly close again for other reasons, or that if you go back a few years ago, the North Korea you saw is not the one you are interested in and want to explore, and great changes have taken place. So to some extent, traveling in North Korea represents mystery and even adventure. This is the biggest difference from traveling abroad.

Of course, from an economic point of view, traveling to North Korea can be said to have advantages and disadvantages. North Korea is a neighbor of China. You can go to North Korea directly by train or bus without flying, which can save a lot of transportation expenses. And the income of Koreans is said to be very low. It is estimated that the price is not much higher, and the cost of food and accommodation there should not be high. But as we all know, North Korea's backward economy, lack of materials and poor infrastructure are also factors that cannot be ignored.
