Yalu River - North Korean Border Again
This is a top pick! ... the N. Koreans are reading my blog. It's an extremely depressing thing to see the vast difference between the prosperous Dandong city in China and the impoverished undeveloped Sinuju city in N. Korea. The only thing that almost seems to give any hope ...
Pisinta ja vaikeinta reittia...
Jos haluaa seikkailla, joutuu joskus syoksymaan lapi tuntemattomien poheikkojen. Vaihtoehtona olisi kaiken suunnittelu etukateen niin, etta epaonnistumisen tai iloisen yllatyksen mahdollisuutta ei ole. Valitsimme jalleen seikkailun ja otimme Lipingista ...
Dandong
... the case, that in itself would be telling: a city through which passes most of the trade with China has not expanded to the riverfront. My hotel in Dandong has a little river all of its own, which unfortunately takes the staircase as its riverbed. Where ...

15 Hours aboard the Pearl, then re-education

Ding Dong, Dan Dong
... all our requests in Chinese which is invaluable to us. He thought we could buy ticket for the Beijing to Mongolia train in Dandong but when we checked at the train station ticket office, they said they could not sell tickets more than 10 days in advance ...
My first Miao village.
The Miaos are one of the two most important tribes of Eastern Guizhou, along with the Dongs. They are even more colorful than the Dongs and just as welcoming for the strange looking people that we are to their eyes. The Miaos are also very ...
Peering into North Korea
... . AND Dandong was where we went to the Great Wall- which was by far our most favorite experience in China. But that doesn't mean Dandong didn't have it's triumphs and challenges. Let's see, our hotel charged us double the cost, and ...
Almost got a black eye...
... my return to the 'real' world started in a small Chinese city and not straight back to Beijing! Something that I saw in Dandong that I was not expecting: There are North Koreans on the Yalu river's shore, fishing. I had this picture in my mind ...
A day of reflection on the train out of Pyongyang
... everyone else is missing out on. The funniest part about meeting this Korean man on the train though, was that when we arrived at Dandong in China and said goodbye he gave us a packet of cigarettes as a souvenir. We had just spent the past week giving out ...
Small town China
Yangtsuo is much smaller than anywhere else we have been in China. Beijing, for example, has half the population of Canada, while Xian is a mid-sized Chinese city, meaning it is about the size of Toronto. Lhasa is smaller than those cities but it doesn't ...
Dandong
After my overnight train arrived in Dandong early in the morning, I stored my backpack, stared at the giant statue of Mao in front of the station, and walked to the riverfront. I went out to the end of a broken bridge which ...
Longji
There are many ethnic tribes/villages in China and I was going to visit 2 of them today - the Yao and Zhuang. The villages are located about an hour and a half N of Guilin, in the mountains. The Yao village is famous for its women with long ...
Journey and adventures in Yangshuo
... about China comes up in E-mail suddenly internet crashes or goes slow. That said you can buy some pretty critical stuff about China in something like Economist magazine from any street stall. We all wait to get on Sleeper train in second class waiting ...
A day in Dandong
Three of us spend a day in Dandong to break the long train journey from Pyongyang to Beijing. It is not a beautiful city and there was also not much to see but we still had a nice day there. We started by visiting the "One step point", this is the ...
Dalian, Dandong and desperately close to the DPKR
... . Anyway we arrived bright and early and dashed firstly to the train station to sort out our onward train ticket to Dandong. This is always a terrifying experience for me because I have to use my very limited Chinese, however amazingly we got sleeper ...
The Korean War With a Bit of Difference
This is a top pick! ... and see it through their eyes ‘or more so’ Chinese eyes. I’m now found in the bustling border town of Dandong and today I slowly made my way to and from the Dandong War Museum and in between I spent many hours meandering around ...
The Great Wall
... big wet wall fading into the mist. Nevertheless, it was nice to see it. And of all the places to see it, I think Dandong isn't a bad choice. Apparently the parts near Beijing are full of tourists and touts, and many of the remoter parts are crumbling to ...

Love This Vibrant Border Town City So Much!
This is a top pick! ... a big city into a small one and add in the North Korean border! The principal gateway to North Korea (Chaoxian) from China, Dandong has a buzz unusual for a Chinese city of its size. Separated from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea ...
Night train
I am booked on the sleeper train between Dandong and Beijing. I'm concerned by sleeper trains. Every time a sleeper train is featured in a film, there's a murder. How will I be able to sleep knowing that someone might drive a knife between my shoulder ...
Back in China
... the hectic tour schedule of North Korea. The tour guide tells us that the hotel - the Zhong Lian - is the best hotel in Dandong. It certainly does have a nice location, right by the riverside. I'm looking forward to a river view and I fancy sitting ...
Dalian, Dandong
... loud violent film, as they seem to do on every bus - it's so much easier to sleep on a bus seat than a train seat. I arrive in Dandong, but......the bus doesn't drop you off at the bus station, no that would be too easy, so again, i look at the map and ...
Finally Relief from the Heat
... to the border but we couldn't figure how to get on it. Oh well, maybe I'll do that next time I come here. Final note, the weather here in Dandong is a big improvement. It is very pleasant in the evening and moderate during the ...
