How to travel to North Korea from Beijing

The current policy for traveling to North Korea is slightly different from the past (you can travel freely to Pyongyang in an original and limited manner). The method is as follows:

First of all, you should prepare your passport, and then apply for travel in Dandong Consult a domestic travel agency (you can use Baidu yourself) to determine the travel route, time, determine the number of participants, and submit the materials in the agreed way. After the North Korean side confirms, the travel agency in Dandong will notify you of the final confirmation (you must use a travel agency in Dandong, and individual applications are not accepted) ). When traveling to North Korea, the smaller the number of people, the higher the price. For example, if you join a large group of more than a dozen people, this route is absolutely fixed and the cheapest. It costs around 3,000 per person. But if you join a group of two people, You can make your own itinerary, and the price is basically about 3-4 times that of a large group.

There are three main routes from Beijing. One is to fly from Beijing to Pyongyang and enter Pyongyang in Shun'an; the second is to take a train from Dandong to Pyongyang (not the two on the tail of K27) International train carriage) Sinuiju entry; the third is the Sinuiju entry bus to Pyongyang. Although flying is convenient, I personally recommend taking the train. First, train groups basically only stay at Yanggakdo Island in the city center or in hotels near the train station, which is more convenient for sightseeing. Second, you can see a lot of real North Korean scenery outside of Pyongyang along the way. , and the train is more comfortable than the bus (the road conditions in North Korea are very poor and you can get out of SHI by bus~).

If you form a group on your own, you can choose a North Korean tour guide to pick up the group at Pyongyang Railway Station, so that you can buy your own tickets and take the Beijing-Pyongyang international train (the two international train carriages hanging on the tail of K27 do not need to get off in Dandong) The car will transport it directly across the border), but this ticket seems to be in short supply.

There are many uncertainties when traveling to North Korea. In the end, you have to confirm with the travel agency in Dandong.
