Print Edition
CHINA’S northeast border city of Yanji has opened a direct bus tour service to the neighboring Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), tourism authorities said yesterday.
A total of 48 Chinese tourists and two Chinese guides ended their two-day tour to the city of Rason on Sunday, completing the first series of bus tours in Yanji, said Wang Yanbo, deputy chief of Yanji tourism bureau. The group visited Rajin Port, the Korean Ethnic Cultural Park and the beachside of Pipa Island, said Lian Qinghua, general manager of Yanbian Northeast Asia Passenger Transport Group Co, Ltd travel agency, operator of the tour. The journey to the DPRK takes around four hours and will operate from Tuesday to Saturday, Lian said. The non-stop trip avoids transfer processing at the China-DPRK border, he said. Travel figures show about 10,000 Chinese tourists visit the DPRK annually.
