Moreover, going to the DPRK with a group tour is quite strict, and there is basically no time and space for free activities. During the daytime trip, tourists will not leave the sight of the tour guide. Generally speaking, each tour group, the DPRK will be equipped with more than two tour guides, plus photographers and other staff, under the careful care of 3-4 people, it is almost impossible to leave the group.

Articles Friends who often travel abroad know that every country has certain restrictions on the articles that passengers can enter, such as food and medicine. If you accidentally violate the laws of that country, it will bring more serious consequences. There are also some rules for entering North Korea. However, there are basically no restrictions on food and medicine, but it should be noted that Korean printed matter cannot be carried. Some fashion magazines (non-pornographic magazines) with relatively exposed portraits are best not to be published. If you have items such as laptops, mobile hard disks and USB flash drives, it will take a lot of time to be checked when you enter the customs, and customs officers may check the contents of these items. Therefore, unless necessary, this kind of thing can be left out.

Pay attention to dress when traveling to North Korea. Women should not wear clothes that are too revealing, such as shorts that show their thighs, tops that show their navel, and jeans.

Taking pictures of Pyongyang's magnificent buildings, spacious streets, luxurious subways and lively children in the Children's Palace are all objects that the tour guide encourages everyone to take pictures. When traveling in North Korea, you should respect the leaders. Don't call North Korean leaders by their first names when talking with tour guides. It is best to use their names with titles and honorifics such as "Chairman", "General" and "Chairman". When taking pictures, you can't imitate the actions of the leaders. For the statue of the leader, shoot the whole body, not the bust.

Currency is different from other countries. Traveling in North Korea, you can't use the local currency of North Korea, and you are not allowed to bring it back to China. When shopping in North Korea, foreign currencies such as euro, RMB and US dollar are the most popular, but shopping activities are all carried out in friendship shops with tour guides, and tourists basically have no chance to shop in shops and stalls frequented by local people in North Korea.
