2026 Pyongyang Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

I spent the first night in North Korea when the first sunshine of the autumn sun shined through the curtains into the room. Wake up and open the two-story windows one after another. The cold air that suddenly poured in immediately brought people a cold breath. Although the Yangjiao Island Hotel has been slightly worn out, it is one of the best hotels in the country but the heating is very good. . Looking down at the 30-storey Yangjiao Island Hotel, there is a thin layer of morning mist on the Datong River, and the sun is dyed with a faint golden color - it is like a fantasy In the distance, the iron bridges, trees and the main monuments in the distance are all smashed. From time to time, several buses have been slowly passing through the empty streets. Everything is so quiet and silent. This is the early morning of Pyongyang's autumn morning. At 6 o'clock in the morning of Beijing time, at 7 o'clock in Pyongyang, the fresh air and the streets emitting golden light make you have to praise the city with beauty - even those The one-size-fits-all, formal-style Soviet-style architecture makes you feel very uninterested.

In North Korea, rural kindergartens are often a must. When we arrived at the kindergarten, the children were singing and doing the game under the guidance of the teacher. Our group of tourists was taking pictures on the side. After a while, the children took the initiative to pull us into a circle, not at all unfamiliar or awkward, continue to sing and run. The children's clothing is not significantly different from our childhood, and the body is often dirty and broken. Who makes the children mischievous? After finishing the game, I will go back to the neat team, and I will sing and stretch my limbs as if I was doing exercises. Qu Bi, sugar time! The original store at the farm was prepared for the children. The tourists spent money to buy their own food for the children to eat. They thought it was an opportunity for us to experience Korean food, and how painful it was.

North Korea is not developed, and ordinary people do not have their own private cars, so the bus has become one of the most important travel tools. Pyongyang's public transportation system is developed. Although there are not many routes, there are bus stops on every street in the past few days. Some stations have more than one line to stop. The colors and styles of the buses are also varied: white and green trams, old-fashioned city buses with white orchids, four long buses with triple-doors, double-decker buses, and a train front face. Car. Sitting on a tourist bus and looking at the bus passing by the window is also a unique scenery.

Although North Korea is very poor, it is not ambiguous to entertain guests, what is delicious. The most memorable one should be a hot pot dinner at noon one day. A sumptuous small hot pot, plus bread, kimchi, soup and cold noodles at your own expense, swayed a large table. The various dishes of the small hot pot and the beer are placed in a patchwork, quite rich, and mouth-watering. I feel that the best food in North Korea is here. Beer is the famous Datongjiang beer. It has a rich and delicate foam. Even the girls who don't drink alcohol are also full of praise for the taste and taste of Datongjiang beer. If Datongjiang beer can be exported to China, the sales will be good. The waiter poured all the dishes and meat in front of us into the small pot. After the fire was opened, it slowly cooked. It seems that the hot pot is really different. North Korea cold noodle bowl 20 yuan, clear soup, meat and egg kimchi and other side dishes are rich, but the taste is not as good as Yanji cold noodles eaten in China. We used to eat Yanji cold noodles, and I felt that the taste here was not right. The waiter is also a part-time actor. When we have dinner, there are good Korean songs to send. Although we simply sing along with VCD or DVD in the dining room, the degree of seriousness is quite a bit. When the song of "falling garbage" sounded, the audience applauded, it seems that everyone was impressed with this song when they went to school!

The Jinxiu Mountain Sun Palace is the mausoleum of the late North Korean leader Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, located in the northeastern suburb of Pyongyang. In front of the Sun Palace is the Splendid Palace Square, which is an important gathering place for North Korea. Every year, the government holds various large-scale commemorative events. Many foreigners visiting North Korea will come here to visit. After Kim Il Sungs death in 1994, Kim Jong Il, the second-generation leader, announced that his fathers body would be permanently preserved in the Chamber of Deputies, and that the Senate was renamed the Jinxiu Mountain Memorial Palace. After Kim Jong Ils death in 2011, his son, the third generation leader Kim Jong-un, announced that his fathers body would be permanently preserved in the memorial hall, and the next years memorial palace was renamed Jinxiu Mountain Sun Palace. When visiting, the soldiers here are particularly strict with the camera, for fear that tourists will not be willing to show them to outsiders. However, fortunately, I have not been checked, although I am still honest, but I am afraid that the photos I took before are not in the sights, and I will be wiped out if I don't pay attention. The green grass here is quiet and beautiful. The lovely big white goose in the river in front of the door is very leisurely. The local pupils in the road encounter are naughty and ashamed.

## If there is a door, push it open, you can see the past, what would you say? I think many people will use the word "soil". I can't believe that I have worn such a haircut through such a dress. And this world is very wonderful. There is really a door. After pushing it, it is a portrayal of our past. The name of this door is called North Korea. Finishing the photo of the Korean tour, I would like to share it with you with this time machine. There are the present, the past, and perhaps the future.
