🇰🇵 Travel to North Korea – an exotic experience full of mystery! ✈️✨

North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) has long been one of the world's most mysterious tourist destinations. Although travel is strictly regulated, there are still opportunities to explore this unique country firsthand by joining a group tour through officially approved tour operators. ⸻ 🔥 Recommended must-visit attractions 🏙 Pyongyang • Mansudae Monument – ​​The 22-meter-high statues of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il are one of the political symbols of North Korea. • Arc de Triomphe – taller than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, it symbolizes victory in the Korean War. • Subway Experience – One of the deepest subways in the world, with a gorgeous interior filled with North Korean murals. 🏔 Kaesong and Panmunjom • Panmunjom Truce Village – Witness the front lines of the North-South Korean confrontation, where you can see South Korean soldiers and the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) up close. • Koryo Museum – introduces the history of the Goryeo Dynasty and provides a glimpse into the cultural heritage of North Korea. ⛰ Myohyangsan • International Friendship Exhibition Hall – displays precious gifts given to North Korean leaders from countries around the world. • Puxian Temple - a Buddhist temple with a thousand-year history and a rare religious building in North Korea. 🌊 Wonsan & Mount Kumgang • Mount Kumgang National Park – With its magnificent mountains and valleys, it was once a tourist area jointly developed by North and South Korea. • Wonsan Coast – North Korea’s most popular seaside resort, where you can see locals playing in the water during the summer. ⸻ 📌 Things to know when traveling to North Korea 🚫 Individual travel is not feasible: You can only participate in group tours through travel agencies officially authorized by North Korea (such as agents in China, Russia, etc.), and you must be accompanied by a tour guide throughout the trip. 📵 No Internet & Strict Censorship: Foreign tourists cannot use the Internet. Mobile phones, cameras and other devices may be inspected before entering North Korea. Taking photos also requires the tour guide's consent. 💰 Consumption method: Foreigners mainly use Euros, RMB or US dollars. The local currency (North Korean won) cannot be circulated to tourists.
