North Korea's travel strategy and matters needing attention

North Korea is the most mysterious country in the world, and it is full of quaint and heavy atmosphere to the outside world. It has been isolated from the outside world for a long time, and everyone's enthusiasm for traveling to North Korea is still very high. Here are some detailed travel strategies for North Korea.

Raiders+Precautions

1. You can only travel in a group with a travel agency, but you can't travel freely. North Korea is not allowed to travel freely, and you can't walk around without a tour guide when you join a group. For example, you can go shopping by yourself at night. North Korea doesn't allow foreign tourists to walk around without being accompanied by local people. If you want to go out to play, you can find a local tour guide who is accompanying you at the hotel.

2. Passports are definitely required. However, in order not to affect your going to other countries (especially the United States), North Korea's tourist visas are generally made of paper and can be thrown away, so don't worry about leaving traces. Generally, you need to send a copy of your passport and ID card to the travel agency one week in advance.

3. Don't worry about language problems. Local tour guides are trained, and their academic qualifications may still be high, and their Chinese is very slippery. If you chat, they can understand it if you don't use dialect.

4. No need to change money. North Korea does not allow Korean currency to flow out. All the tourist-related shops that local tour guides take you to can be purchased directly in RMB cash. If you want to keep Korean coins as a souvenir, you can secretly ask the tour guide if he would like to exchange them for you.

5. It is allowed to take photos in North Korea now, but it is not allowed to take photos of North Korean soldiers. Of course, it's okay if you secretly shoot it so that it won't be discovered, otherwise you will be asked to delete it. In addition, pay special attention to the SLR and camera. There will be North Korean soldiers checking their luggage on the train back and forth, especially the camera. Pay a little attention to the photos of some cameras and the video screen on the mobile phone. Remember to delete the Korean drama.

6. Don't worry about food and shelter. The local area is still very friendly to China tourists, and the food and accommodation are still good. However, there are many cold foods in North Korea, and people who like hot dishes may feel relatively sad.

7. Everything in tourist attractions is similar, but the prices will be different. It is recommended to buy more in the scenic shopping area in the city. The shopping area in Panmunjom (yes, yes, there is a shopping area near the 38th parallel where the agreement was signed) is nearly 3% more expensive than some shopping areas in the city.

Finally, for many people, the biggest purpose of traveling in North Korea is curiosity. Most people will choose to cross the Yalu River from Dandong, which takes about four hours by train.

You can set aside half a day to visit Dandong. The Yalu River Bridge is naturally a must-see attraction. There is also a Jinjiang Mountain Park in the local area, overlooking the mountain, and the scenery is quite good.

for a travel agency to visit North Korea, the price of a four-day tour is about 23-28, the difference is the hotel. Yangjiaodao Hotel has better conditions and will be more expensive. Shopping depends on the individual. The price of duty-free shops in Pyongyang is not low. Generally, you can buy some postal books, postcards, posters, books and badges.

Postcards cost five to seven yuan, and the stamp album is more memorable, with prices ranging from twenty to sixty. There are also ginseng that many people will buy. It is best not to buy it in bulk, as China Customs does not allow it, but to buy it in cans.

In addition, photographers took photos and videos throughout the local travel society, and finally they burned them into CDs and sold them to tourists as souvenirs, about one hundred and fifty-one. In short, China tourists who want to go to play should follow the rules reminded by the tour guide and don't make trouble, and basically they are very happy upstream.

Actually, there is really not much to see except the local planned routes. Generally, the scenic spots that take you there are famous scenic spots such as Pyongyang, Panmunjom, Miaoxiangshan, etc. Pyongyang is well-built, full of all kinds of high-rise buildings and large buildings.

But out of Pyongyang, the conditions are relatively poor, and the road is uneven. There are fields on both sides. Other cities are similar to the small town of China in the 198s, and the natural scenery in Miaoxiangshan and other places is really good. After all, the undeveloped natural scenery is beautiful.
