North Koreans on the Yalu River
This picture was taken in 2008 in on the Yalu River in Dandong, China. The boat is flying the North Korean colors and appears to be manned by a few soldiers near the bow. Dandong and the North Korean city of Sinuiju are separated only by the Yalu River. One of the main attractions of Dandong is the ability to get close to North Korea. We took a speed boat along the river and near the North Korean shore for 70 yuan or about 11 USD. Also available in Dandong are pictures, posters, pins, and stamps featuring Kim Jong-Il and his father Kim Il-sung.
