my name is brooklyn, i'm a tour guide working with China Youth International Travel Service Dandong Branch. even i was not born in this place, i was born in Zhengzhou , henan province by the way, but i like dandong city very much.

dandong is not a big city in China, it locates on the north-east of China, on  the bank of Sino-North korean border, Yalu river, faces North korea's border city Siniuju just accrossing the Yalu river. it covers 15,000 sq with 2.4 million population. dandong was put into the namelist of "China's most excellent tourism city" in 2001, and it's also the biggest distributing center for D.P.R.K tour.

as a tour guide, i'v been visited all kinds of attractions in dandong, includes sea,river, lake,mountain, forest, hotspring; and have been visited North Korea for 22 times.

North Korea is the most mysterious place. when the first time i went to North Korea, cellphone and computer are strictly forbiden to bring inside. after customed, we were led to the waiting room and stayed there for 3 hours for the unique train from Siniuju to Pyongyang. 220km cost 5.5 hours. as the railway was single, the train had to stop in the station and wait for oppsite one passing by. we were arranged in Yanggakdo International Hotel which was located on the Island of Daedong river, the hotel is one of the three most luxuriant Hotels in Pyongyong, with Sauna, KTV and Casino in the basement, where is only open to foreigners. the trip was 4 days and 3 nights, during this period, we visited the some typical socialism attraction, such as Pyongyang metro, nearly 100 meters deep underground; Kim IL Sung Square; Chuche Idear Tower and Parting Founding Monument; we also visited Kaesong DMZ and the International Exhibition Hall in Mt.Myohyang, where showed the various marvellous and exquisite presents that given by the other county's leader or political groups.

In a word, North Korea is a place where is worthy to go.

 The North Korea is a mysterious country with very strict political policies. But Dandong is an excellent city though it is a little bit could in winter.
