North Korea does not force self-funded projects, but there are also some courtesy expenses to show the friendship between China and North Korea, such as offering flowers (20 yuan/bouquet of flowers) at the China-North Korea Friendship Tower and the bronze statue of Kim Il Sung at Wanshoutai. Other temporary visits need to be paid at their own expense, such as visiting the theme tower.

4. The Korean people are warm and friendly, and the service of the reception staff is hard. Please prepare some small gifts to show your friendship and gratitude. Most of the scenic spots in North Korea have special commentators, and after their normal explanations, they will be given some small souvenirs as usual. For example, the docents (soldiers) in Panmunjom usually send two boxes of cigarettes (one group), the docents (students) in Pyongyang Children's Palace usually send some stationery, and the docents (ladies) in the International Friendship Exhibition Hall usually send some practical daily necessities, such as scarves and stockings.

There are two spare parts in the hotel double standard room. Please check whether the necessary parts are missing or damaged before check-in, and inform the tour leader or North Korean tour guide in time. Because the hotel facilities are not perfect, tourists can bring their own toiletries, and the hotel they stay in does not provide dental appliances, so please prepare them yourself.
