How do North Koreans look at foreign tourists? Do they look strange and curious, or do they smile in a friendly way?

With the development of economy and the progress of the times, the ties between North Korea and the outside world are getting closer and closer. North Koreans are also more eager to know the outside world. Some North Koreans engaged in import and export trade have the opportunity to go to China to discuss business with other countries, but the vast majority of North Koreans have no chance to go abroad. Traveling abroad to see the outside world is an unattainable dream for ordinary Koreans. A few years ago, there were not many South Koreans who traveled and visited North China. The eyes of North Koreans on Chinese people were more strange and curious, just like in the 197s and 198s, when we saw foreign countries, we liked to watch to satisfy our strong curiosity. At present, there are 2, China tourists visiting North Korea every year. Do they feel strange and curious eyes or friendly smiles when they travel in North Korea?

A Korean beauty I met at Pyongyang Railway Station. When I passed by, I saw that I was taking pictures of her with my camera. She stopped, without angry and blaming expression, but smiled at us very generously. It can be seen that this beautiful woman wanted to communicate with us, and she might just give up because of time and language barriers.

In a middle school in Pyongyang, when she saw me pick up the camera, a female teacher generously posed for me to take pictures. Although we don't know Korean, we have no language communication, but the female teacher and her students have shown great cooperation in taking pictures of me.

Relatively speaking, in a big city like Pyongyang, the number of foreign tourists, especially those from China, has increased year by year in recent years, and the people of Pyongyang are accustomed to foreign tourists. In a tram on the streets of Pyongyang, we watched the people of Pyongyang through the glass window and calmly watched our group of foreign tourists pass by.

On the train from Sinuiju, a border city of North Korea, to Pyongyang, I took a photo of two women in a house in rural North Korea through the window. They obviously felt that I was filming them, and the Korean woman in the film had a shy smile on her face, which was totally different from the expected Koreans who saw foreign tourists with wary and unfamiliar eyes.

When visiting Nanpu City, we saw a beautiful woman in Korean national costume, and we communicated with her through the tour guide, hoping to take a photo with her, and this beautiful woman agreed to our request very readily.

Our guide, Xiaojin, dressed in fashion, is singing China's song "The Moon Represents My Heart" in the car at our request. North Korean tour guides are Koreans who have the best access to tourists from China. They have a very good attitude towards tourists from China, and they are very eager to know the development of China in recent years and the living conditions of ordinary people in China. They hope to become friends with tourists from China.

Korean beauties wearing national costumes in Kaesong will smile happily and kindly when they see us China tourists.

People in Pyongyang often meet foreign tourists on the street or in the subway, so many people ignore the existence of foreign tourists and are busy on their way or doing their own thing.

Of course, some Pyongyang people are as curious about foreign tourists as China people were in the last century. This Korean aunt looked at us as a group of foreign tourists with curious eyes.
