You can drive to the North Korean Special Economic Zone by yourself. How open is the local life?

When it comes to special economic zones, many people will think of words such as openness and tolerance. As a special economic zone in my country, Shenzhen has achieved world-renowned achievements in the past few decades, developing from a small fishing village into an international metropolis. North Korea also has a special economic zone called Rason City. Rason City, also known as Rajin Pioneer City, consists of two parts, Rajin and Pioneer.

As we all know, North Korea implements a planned economy and the development of the market economy has been suppressed. However, as a special economic zone, North Korea's Rason City has an active market economy. North Korea has given Rason various preferential policies in the hope of driving North Korea's economic development. Compared with other cities in North Korea, Luoxian is much more open. When you walk into Rason, North Korea, you will find that although this city is not as good as the big cities in China, it has its own unique style. Rason not only has developed commerce and trade, but also has beautiful scenery. It is a tourist attraction in North Korea.

On the streets of Luoxian, you can see many cars with Chinese license plates. According to local tour guides, many Chinese businessmen will drive to Luoxian for inspection. Now there are many Chinese-run factories in Luo Xian, and many restaurants and hotels in Luo Xian are also run by foreign businessmen. Foreigners traveling to Luoxian do not need to apply for a passport. Nowadays, more and more foreigners are visiting Rason for tourism and inspection. The influx of foreigners has also made the city international.

The Luo ancestors are also very open-minded, and many Luo ancestors will rent a storefront in the International Trade City to do business. Some Luo ancestors who made money from business would also find ways to go abroad. For example, go to China for inspection and purchase goods from China. Rich people in Luo Xian attach great importance to their children's education, and many people let their children learn Chinese and English. Because when doing business in Luoxian, you will come into contact with many foreigners. Therefore, the Luo ancestors attached great importance to their children's foreign language learning.

There are tens of thousands of self-employed people in Luoxian's International Trade City. Many Luoxian people who work in state-owned units are beginning to get ready to do business in the market and make money. The local people in Luoxian are not surprised to see many foreigners. Some Luo ancestors could greet Chinese tourists when they saw them.
