2025 Dandong Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

DANDONG, a border city of memories, is located in Liaoning Province in northeastern China and marks the eastern end of the Great Wall of China. The Yalu River forms the border between the city and North Korea. I traveled here by train, and upon exiting the train station, I was greeted by a grand statue of Chairman Mao Zedong, standing proudly and facing the vast land of China. Initially, I thought this was a small town, but upon seeing it with my own eyes, I realized it is quite developed. The main tourist attraction is the Friendship Bridge, where tourists take photos with the old or broken bridge, which has a steel structure but was partially destroyed during the Korean War. Today, it serves as a historical tourist spot that attracts many visitors. The city is bustling with activity, featuring shopping centers, various 4-star hotels, and numerous restaurants that mostly close around 8 PM. I passed by a dumpling shop that served delicious shrimp dumplings. The city gets dark early but also brightens early, similar to the mainland, due to its latitude near Korea. Traveling here is easy; you can take a high-speed train from Shenyang, the provincial capital, or from Dalian, which is also convenient. #wattosann

🌉 Friendship Bridge: Walk across the broken bridge, which was damaged during the Korean War, and take in the view of North Korea on the other side. It’s a unique and fascinating experience. 🏯 Hushan Great Wall: This lesser-known part of the Great Wall offers stunning views. Climbing the wall, you’ll reach points where you can look across the Yalu River to North Korea—a thrilling sight. 🇰🇵 Views of North Korea: From several vantage points in Dandong, you can catch glimpses of life in North Korea. Consider taking a boat ride on the Yalu River for an up-close view of the border. 🚶 Tip: Wear comfortable shoes for climbing the wall and exploring the area, and bring binoculars if you want a better view across the river. #summerdestinations #china #chinatrip #chinatravel #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip

#falltrip Dandong is a city in Liaoning Province, northeastern China, situated on the border with North Korea along the Yalu River. Dandong is a vital border city due to its proximity to North Korea. The Yalu River serves as a natural boundary, and the city has a view of the North Korean city of Sinuiju across the river. A railway bridge connects Dandong with Sinuiju and serves as a transportation link between the two countries. More so, Dandong is home to a portion of the Great Wall of China known as the Hushan Great Wall. It runs along the Yalu River and offers scenic views of both China and North Korea. Tips and Tricks ⁉️ 🧳Dandong is a gateway for tourists interested in limited tours to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). These tours often involve boat trips on the Yalu River. 🌉The Broken Bridge is a significant landmark with historical significance. It was bombed during the Korean War, and a section of the bridge remains as a reminder of the conflict. 🏞️A scenic area by the name Phoenix mountain (凤凰山) which has numerous hiking trails and viewpoints offering panoramic views of the Yalu River and the surrounding landscape is 1.5 - 2 hours ride outside the city. #SpinTheWorld #wecreate #mytravelhacks #localguides

Ever wondered what it looks like across the border and in to North Korea? Well from Dandong, on the Chinese side of the border you can.

This is a fascinating glimpse of a world we hear so much about and yet know very little about. #bordercrossing

Getting There - train to Dandong train station from Harbin was about 4hrs and 300Cny. Attractions - The broken bridge is main thing we came to see was a boat tour we’d like to do but we didn’t have time. the food around the town was pretty good we went to a nice Japanese restaurant. Hotels - we stayed at the home inn selected. was very nice good location and friendly staff. foreigner friendly.#2023travelwish Shopping -

Getting There - An easy 3 hours drive from Shenyang. Only in Dandong city the traffic is a bit crazy. About 25 minutes going to the Great Wall from the city center. Attractions - Entrance fee is about 60 RMB. in case you want to book a guide it’s an additional 300. I think it’s not needed. I recommend getting the bus ticket. While it is a round trip the last 2.5km is a long walk back around the mountain. Hotels - The Wanda Realm was a good choice in the buzzing city center. There is not much English all around the city - just keep in mind! Food & Restaurants - North Korean BBQ is the choice in Dandong. you’ll find plenty of good places all around the city. choose one nearby the river for an after dinner stroll to Yalu Broken Bridge! Shopping - well to Dandong you simply don’t go for shopping! #ancientlandmark#historicculture#naturalwonders#culturalattractions#hiking

We took the high speed train from Shenyang to Dandong for a weekend trip. What a nice surprise.. from the broken bridge you can have a look over to North Korea 🇰🇵.

Overwhelmed with the beautiful of Dandong. it was a short trip of two days but going back with a full bucket of joy and memories. Thank you Dandong! #dandong #lifeinchina #solotraveler #hiking #easylife

Dandong, Liaoning is the main border crossing between China and North Korea. A popular attraction is the broken bridge, bombed on the Korean side by the United States during the Korean War. You can walk to the end of what's left and gaze across to Sinujiu in the Hermit Kingdom. A river cruise is another way to get a good view of the Korean side. Dandong was also the end of the Great Wall of China during the Ming Dynasty. The heavily restored wall is another excellent place to look into Korea, as it's close to the modern border. Though the border is currently closed due to Covid, organized tours of North Korea ordinarily leave from Dandong, including day tours of Sinujiu and train journeys to Pyongyang. #LeaveYourMark #urbanexplorer #LightTheCity #Dandong #Liaoning #China #Korea #NorthKorea #GreatWall #GreatWallofChina #bridge
