Shocking! Shooting North Korea on the border, one telephoto lens captures two eras!

Travel Vlog casual shots ✨ This summer vacation, I’m back again to check in at the Hushan Great Wall in Dandong! 📍Hushan Great Wall address: Southeast of the intersection of Provincial Road 319 and Coastal Highway, Kuandian Manchu Autonomous County, Dandong City, Liaoning Province 🕰️Opening hours: April-October 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (last entry at 4:30 PM) November-March 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM (last entry at 4:00 PM) 🎫Ticket: 55 RMB/person Standing on this relic that carries the history of ancient military defense, you can actually see North Korea directly! Holding my telephoto camera📷 clicking nonstop, the scene across the river shocked me for the whole year!👀 👨‍🌾On the North Korea side: • Lots of people working in the fields • Mechanized equipment is rare • A vast expanse of green as far as the eye can see • Occasionally a few small houses 🏗️On the Dandong side: • Skyscrapers everywhere • Bustling traffic and crowds • Strong modern vibe The Yalu River runs right in the middle, just a few hundred meters apart, as if separating two eras... The visual impact is really intense! Who else gets this, family?😱 ✨Travel tips: 1. Be sure to bring a telephoto lens! Only then can you see the other side clearly 2. It’s best to come on a sunny day for better visibility 3. You can also take a boat tour on the Yalu River 4. Wear comfortable shoes, climbing the Great Wall is quite tiring
