Dandong option

Dandong; a fascinating small city on the Chinese side of the Yalu river, facing across toSinuiju, your point of exit from DPRK after the tour. Instead of returning directly to Beijingwe are pleased to offer a one and two-day fully-guided extension to the tour to take in all thesights of Dandong on a special North Korea-themed extension. Formerly only available tothose tourists who exit the DPRK by train, this tour is now available to US citizenstaking

part in DPRK tours ending on Saturdays and Wednesdays only. It is still not possible to leavethe DPRK by train but on these days you can fly from Pyongyang to Shenyang and we arrangea car or bus to take you from the airport there to Dandong in time to begin the tour. Thisoption is also available for non-US citizens. See below for costs.

Day 1:Train from DPRK arrives at Dandong station around 17:30. Transfer to hotel. Dinnerin local Chinese restaurant.

Day 2 AM:Visit the Great Wall at Tiger Mountain- the most eastern part which overlooks

North Korea. Either take a boat trip (RMB 20) at the 'one metre hop' the narrowest pointbetween China and DPRK (it is possible to see Korean People's Army border guards up close,just a few metres away), or hike up the wall for great views. Next visit the snappily-named


11/13

Museum of War to Resist America and Aid Korea otherwise known as the Korean war

museum, which charts the events which led to the deployment of over 2 million Chinese'volunteers' to Korea in 1950. Compare and contrast the Chinese side of the story with theKorean version of events as well as that taught in the west. Stunning city views are afforded

by the hilltop location of the museum which is situated on the site of Chinese Volunteer Army

supreme commander Peng De Huais base prior to moving into Korea. Lunch is at a NorthKorean restaurant with singing and dancing waitresses.

PM:Boat tripon Yalu River - sweep in and out of North Korean waters - great for photos!Walk along the Broken Bridgewhich runs parallel to the friendship bridge over the Yaluriver connecting the two countries. Half destroyed by the US air force in the Korean War, the

broken bridge extends to exactly the halfway point between China and DPRK. All manner ofNorth Korean goodies can be bought in the area, from badges and cigarettes to currency andother knick-knacks. Pose for photos at the giant red Chairman Mao statueoutside therailway station before boarding the overnight sleeper for Beijing, 4-berth soft sleeper beds

carry you to Chinas capital overnight for an 08:30 arrival the next day.

New!We are pleased to offer an extension to the Dandong extensionanother 24 hourperiod in one of the most fascinating parts of China giving you the chance to explore some ofthe China/DPRK border area, up and down the Yalu/Amnok River.

Day 3 AM:After a second night in Dandong we will head off driving up the riverside roadmaking several stops at points where the river that separates the two countries narrows andwhere there are DPRK settlements on the other side, great for photos and for staring across a

physically narrow border but one which in all other ways seems so much greater. Across theriver lie some operational bridges for trade between the two sides and some remnants of

bridges used in the past and destroyed during the Korean War in the 1950s. Visit the Hekoubroken bridge which was crossed by the Chinese Volunteer Army (including ChairmanMaos son, who never crossed back again and is buried in North Korea to this day) and severalother fascinating viewing areas. We will continue up the river until we reach the giant ShuiFeng Hu dam, shared by both China and the DPRK, this generates electrical power for bothsides. The difference between the electricity infrastructure on both sides of the river is stark,and we will get as close as possible, even going down to the river itself for photo opportunitiesof the town just a hundred metres away. Lunch is in a local village restaurant.


12/13

PM:Visit the Taipingwan dam, another shared facility between China and the DPRK, andthe rural town also known as Taipingwan, before taking a thrilling speedboat tripdown achannel of water that separates the DPRK mainland from a large Korean island, as long as youstay in the river then you are legally not in the DPRK (the river itself is a shared border, thereis no line in between). Here you will see North Korean villages and a port, soldiers guardingthe banks and their facilities, its a weird and unforgettable journey. Well get back toDandong in good time for the 18:30 overnight train to Beijing, giving you plenty of time tothink about all youve experienced before arrival the next day in Beijing at 08:30

The DPRK border city of Sinuiju was finally open to westerners and could be visited as a daytrip from Dandong, China (the main border city between the PRC and the DPRK). Now, weare pleased to announce that it is possible to stay overnight in this rarely-visited city, and thatthis can be done as an extension to any tour that leaves the country by trainboth on grouptours and independent.

You can now visit Sinuiju and stay overnight either by train from Pyongyang or by travelling

in from Dandong, China. Day trips to Sinuiju are also still available from Dandong if you don'twant to stay overnight.

Unfortunately these tours are still not available if you travel on a US passport. If this situationchanges we will of course let you know immediately. We remain hopeful that in the nearfuture this will become an option for US citizens. Please be assured we are working hard tomake this happen
