Democratic People's Republic of Korea Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

I spent the first night in North Korea when the first sunshine of the autumn sun shined through the curtains into the room. Wake up and open the two-story windows one after another. The cold air that suddenly poured in immediately brought people a cold breath. Although the Yangjiao Island Hotel has been slightly worn out, it is one of the best hotels in the country but the heating is very good. . Looking down at the 30-storey Yangjiao Island Hotel, there is a thin layer of morning mist on the Datong River, and the sun is dyed with a faint golden color - it is like a fantasy In the distance, the iron bridges, trees and the main monuments in the distance are all smashed. From time to time, several buses have been slowly passing through the empty streets. Everything is so quiet and silent. This is the early morning of Pyongyang's autumn morning. At 6 o'clock in the morning of Beijing time, at 7 o'clock in Pyongyang, the fresh air and the streets emitting golden light make you have to praise the city with beauty - even those The one-size-fits-all, formal-style Soviet-style architecture makes you feel very uninterested.

In North Korea, rural kindergartens are often a must. When we arrived at the kindergarten, the children were singing and doing the game under the guidance of the teacher. Our group of tourists was taking pictures on the side. After a while, the children took the initiative to pull us into a circle, not at all unfamiliar or awkward, continue to sing and run. The children's clothing is not significantly different from our childhood, and the body is often dirty and broken. Who makes the children mischievous? After finishing the game, I will go back to the neat team, and I will sing and stretch my limbs as if I was doing exercises. Qu Bi, sugar time! The original store at the farm was prepared for the children. The tourists spent money to buy their own food for the children to eat. They thought it was an opportunity for us to experience Korean food, and how painful it was.

North Korea is not developed, and ordinary people do not have their own private cars, so the bus has become one of the most important travel tools. Pyongyang's public transportation system is developed. Although there are not many routes, there are bus stops on every street in the past few days. Some stations have more than one line to stop. The colors and styles of the buses are also varied: white and green trams, old-fashioned city buses with white orchids, four long buses with triple-doors, double-decker buses, and a train front face. Car. Sitting on a tourist bus and looking at the bus passing by the window is also a unique scenery.

Although North Korea is very poor, it is not ambiguous to entertain guests, what is delicious. The most memorable one should be a hot pot dinner at noon one day. A sumptuous small hot pot, plus bread, kimchi, soup and cold noodles at your own expense, swayed a large table. The various dishes of the small hot pot and the beer are placed in a patchwork, quite rich, and mouth-watering. I feel that the best food in North Korea is here. Beer is the famous Datongjiang beer. It has a rich and delicate foam. Even the girls who don't drink alcohol are also full of praise for the taste and taste of Datongjiang beer. If Datongjiang beer can be exported to China, the sales will be good. The waiter poured all the dishes and meat in front of us into the small pot. After the fire was opened, it slowly cooked. It seems that the hot pot is really different. North Korea cold noodle bowl 20 yuan, clear soup, meat and egg kimchi and other side dishes are rich, but the taste is not as good as Yanji cold noodles eaten in China. We used to eat Yanji cold noodles, and I felt that the taste here was not right. The waiter is also a part-time actor. When we have dinner, there are good Korean songs to send. Although we simply sing along with VCD or DVD in the dining room, the degree of seriousness is quite a bit. When the song of "falling garbage" sounded, the audience applauded, it seems that everyone was impressed with this song when they went to school!

North Korea tourism

In an era of deepening globalization, there are still some relatively closed countries, such as "North Korea". In our inherent understanding, North Korea is synonymous with backwardness and isolation. Whenever we mention them, we will think of China before the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, China's environment was also very closed, which was caused by the blockade of Western countries and our country's helplessness to protect itself. During the few days I spent traveling in North Korea, my impression of this country was still very good. It really resembled China in the 1970s and 1980s. The tour guide spoke very good Chinese, and the female tour guide was also very beautiful, introducing us to many local specialties. The real North Korea is different from what I imagined. What I saw and heard left a deep impression on me and a long aftertaste. The China-North Korea Friendship Tower, where everyone spontaneously laid flowers. The Pyongyang Metro, which is 100 meters deep and has a very long elevator tunnel. When you reach the waiting platform below, it is a spacious place with murals on the walls and chandeliers on the ceiling, similar to the architectural style of the Soviet Union. The Pyongyang Children's Palace, where I saw many children studying, and everyone brought books and toys to give to the children. There is also a new rural area similar to those in China. After visiting the households, there is a model house and a demonstration village. There is also a triumphal arch here. One travelogue cannot fully express my feelings, please see the follow-up.

A major feature of the North Korean subway is that it is deep. The North Korean subway can reach a depth of 200 meters and an average depth of 120 meters. It can also serve as a bomb shelter during wartime. Our starting revival station was very deep. The tour guide said that the Fuxing Station is the deepest stop, nearly 200 meters. From stepping on the elevator to reaching the subway floor, the long road is always beyond the end, and the time for taking the elevator is 5 minutes! In order to avoid contact with the local people, the tour guide arranged for us to enter the first train compartment in the direction of the front of the car. This train has also become a special train for tourists. The group members joked that this is the best opportunity to change the team tour as a free trip, just need to jump into other cars when entering the subway, haha. The green outside of the subway car is green and red. It has a feeling of the old Soviet Union subway car skin, although this feeling may be inexplicable. The train doesn't look like all-metal (but it should be metal), and the wood color on the inside of the car even makes people train a solid wood. During the train driving, some of them are frightened, because the door is not closed, as long as you pull the door handle with your hand, the door can be opened at any time!

By train from Dandong, you can reach Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, in about 5 hours. The first time people in Pyongyang will be shocked, this is a very busy city, high-rise buildings everywhere, trams on the road, but the propaganda slogans everywhere, full of political atmosphere full of mystery. [Jin Richeng Plaza] This is the central square of Pyongyang, located in Wanshoutai in the city center. This is where North Korea hosts important events, and its status is like our Tiananmen Square. [Pyongyang Arc de Triomphe] was completed in 1982, 10 meters higher than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which has become the pride of the Korean people. [Datongjiang] This is a business card of North Korea, the mother river of Pyongyang. Every major festival, there will be fireworks displays on the banks of the Datong River. It is also a place for local residents to relax. [Jin Richeng's Former Residence] This is a must-have point for all the leaders of the DPRK, the former residence of the leader. PS: The North Korean Tourism Board requires visitors to travel with the tour group and follow the team to arrange a visit. Must travel to the group, Dandong will have a lot of travel agencies, almost every day. All foreign guests coming to North Korea are arranged in foreign-related hotels, most of them are staying at Yangjiao Island Hotel. On the Yangjiao Island, the scenery of Datong River in the early morning is still very good. Now Arirang is reopening. Due to the cold weather, it is not allowed to perform outdoor performances. It is expected to start again next summer. It is worth seeing.

##[Plaza] This is the Pyongyang Kim Il Sung Square. In several international news reports about North Korea, its appearance rate is very high, equivalent to China's Tiananmen Square. Is the central square of the capital of the North Korea

The famous Korean temple built during the Goryeo period was partially repaired after the war was destroyed. There are more than 10 buildings including the Daxiong Hall, the Wannian Building and the Guanyin Temple, as well as the ancient towers and stone plates. The complete collection of the 80,000 Great Tripitaka is also preserved. What I want to say is that the scenery is really good, there are a lot of green trees, covered, and finally you can walk around in a leisurely way. Although the time is short, I like to shoot buildings, but the Buddha and God inside. I never shoot or recommend it, so its not good! I like this series of sculptures, which are very artistic and are all patterns of various flowers. In addition to flowers, the grass is also very beautiful, this does not mean that the turtle symbolizes longevity, the meaning of the temple is very good.

Located in the northwestern part of Korea, Miaoxiang Mountain, which is located at the junction of South Pyongan Road, Cijiang Road and North Pyongan Road, is a famous tourist attraction in North Korea and one of the four famous mountains. It is said to be named because its mountain is wonderful and mysterious, and the arborvitae on the mountain exudes fragrance. It has been praised as one of the eight scenic spots in North Korea since it was said that "three thousand miles of beautiful mountains and rivers are famous and no Miaoxiangshan is in sight". Pu Yin Temple is one of the must-see attractions of Miaoxiang Mountain. However, for Chinese tourists, there may be some blandness. The monuments and relics of Daxiong Hall, Longevity Building, the four-story nine-story stone pagoda, the octagonal thirteen-story stone pagoda are all Chinese-style, and the characters engraved are also Chinese characters. Since the Tang Dynasty, as a country, the Korean Peninsula has been deeply influenced by Chinese culture. Regardless of the North and the South, it can be said that the slightly historical Korean cultural relics and relics are completely recorded in Chinese characters. It is said that the remains of the ancestor of the North Korean ancestor Tanjun Temple, Tanjun Temple and Tanjun Cave, which mark the "long history of the Korean Peninsula" are also near the Miaoxiang Mountain, but on the way, the Xiaojin tour guide is eager to give us It tells a half-day about the ancestor of the Korean nation, Tan Jun, and the legend about the history of North Korea.

Wanjingtai is named after the sight of Wanjing. It is the birthplace of Comrade Kim Il Sung, the great leader of the Korean people. Poplar trees stand beside the thatched cottage on Wanjing Tai. This is the tree that Mr. Jin Hengjun and his two brothers planted when he was a middle school student who went to school in Pyongyang. The old residence is surrounded by Comrade Kim Il Sung from the childhood age to exercise, set up a patriotic and awesome wrestling field, Qingquan, learning field, warship rock, skating rock, ash and other revolutionary cultural relics. About 100 meters from the old residence, the Wanjingtai Revolutionary Historical Museum opened on April 15, 1970.
