However, many tourists still go to North Korea every year to experience different customs here. This is a list of travel expenses to North Korea.

North Korea regards tourism as the main means of income generation, and the price that North Korea gives to China travel agencies is also settled according to the price in China, which is not cheap at all.

Traveling to North Korea can only be done with a group at present.

Then the North Korean newspaper group is usually a four-day, five-day and six-day tour of North Korea, and the price is about 4,000 to 6,000. Dandong needs about 2700 yuan by train.

Then let's take a look at some self-funded or shopping situations in North Korea.

Some trips in North Korea will include self-funded items such as shooting targets and pheasants, with prices ranging from hundreds of dollars, and flowers for the China-North Korea Friendship Tower, and then shopping.

Because North Korea is a planned economy, shopping spots are also state-owned, which means that no one will force tourists to buy things, so there is no need to worry about shopping or being slaughtered.

However, these shopping shops are completely different from the places where ordinary Koreans go. These places specialize in shopping for foreigners, and everything is settled in RMB. So the price is not cheap.

But the advantage is that everything in North Korea is real and there will be no fakes. So shopping depends on your own needs. Such as Korean ginseng, embroidery, angong Niuhuang pills, cosmetics, soap and other products. You can buy according to your own needs.
