Travelling in North Korea.

North Korea!!!!!

Honesty, Travel in North Korea is restricted.
Visitors, whether on business or as tourists, will almost always be accompanied by their guides and will only be allowed to go where their guide is content for them to go.
However, it is possible to make short walks unaccompanied from some of the major hotels in Pyongyang. So, you are free to take a walk from your hotel, but do not forget to respect their culture and people along the way.
For travel outside Pyongyang, it is the guide's responsibility to obtain the necessary permissions. Police checkpoints, to be found at the entry and exit to all towns, sometimes demand identity documents before allowing travel.

Importation of shortwave radios and communications devices such as cellular telephones and computers, is prohibited. Such items are confiscated upon entry and returned upon departure.
Camera, Digital Camera, Digital Audio Equipment and Video Camera are allowed to bring in for tourists. Extra large camera lenses and binoculars can draw suspicion and should be avoided.
North Korean authorities may seize documents, literature, audio and video tapes, compact discs, and letters which they deem to be religious, pornographic, or political in nature or intended for religious proselytizing.
Persons seeking to enter North Korea with religious materials in a quantity deemed to be greater than that needed for personal use can be fined, or expelled.
Written material of any kind in the Korean language should not be brought into the North Korea.
Involvement in politics can result in detention.

Hello Lisawang 😊

....but do not forget to respect their culture and people along the way.


In which ways should we respect their culture and people?
