​TRAVEL TIPS TUESDAY: NORTH KOREA... Share your Tips and Stories. To all those who visited this country already, let's assist our Kabayans fulfill their wishlist / check thei​​r bucket list. My North Korea Solo Travel Tip as Pinoy Solo Backpacker: (Philippine passport holde and my 65th UN country) Trip Description: 5 Days Group Tour in Summer North Korea (DPRK) Date Visited: June 12 to 16, 2018 Visa: Philippine passport holders need to apply before travel Budget: $1,952 01. Best to visit (Mar. to Jul.) 02. Tourist travel to North Korea is only possible as part of a guided tour (through a travel tour agency). Independent travel is not permitted. 03. I availed the service of KTG / KITC travels. All my queries and concern are discussed in email conversation. Planning should be at least more than a month before the intended visit in North Korea due to reservation issues and visa processing. 04. The tour almost covered everything. I only brought around 120 Euro as my pocket money for expenses for extra refreshments, souvenirs and guide tips. It is recommended to bring cash in both EUR and CNY bills. 05. Same on my Transmongolia trip, I did again the 24-hour Transit Without Visa (TWOV) of China Beijing Airport. There was no difference on the process, even though I arrived early morning in Beijing last time. On lane of 24-hr transit in Beijing airport, I just showed to Immigration Officer my outbound ticket (both going to Pyongyang and going to Abu Dhabi). 06. DMZ (Panmunjom) is considered as one of the highlights of DPRK trip. Escorted by a DPRK soldier who will show us the blue negotiation rooms run across the line itself; half of each room being located in South Korea the other half on North Korean soil. Photography and Video taking is allowed inside the area. I confirm DMZ experience in DPRK is much better than that in SK (visited both). 07. Aside from DMZ, the other highlights of the DPRK trip are Mansudae Grand Monuments (two giant bronze statues of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il), Arch of Triumph (larger than in Paris), Juche Tower (170 metres high monument), Pyongyang Metro (one of the deepest metro in the world with beauty of its mosaics and gigantic chandeliers) and Reunification Monument. 08. Bringing DPRK currency outside of the country is not allowed (I still brought some as my personal souvenir, can't help it). #skiadventure #staycation #themepark #beachlife

In front of the landscape painting, I saw a stone tablet with the words "Dare to ask where the road is, the road is under your feet." I took a break here. 🙇 Then I walked to the gate of Wukong Valley and walked up the steps to explore what was in the valley. 🧐 The most surprising thing in Wukong Valley was that Wukong was waiting for me here. 🧐 The restoration here is very good, even the words on the wall are the same as in the TV series. According to Wukong, the words on the wall behind him are "I'm just kidding you." 🤓 Wukong was very cooperative and friendly, and he took the initiative to let me take pictures. 😊 Wukong asked me if my hair was messy. I said it wasn't messy, otherwise, it would look like I had been pressed for 500 years. 😁 After interacting with the real Wukong, I saw another Wukong statue next to me. 🙇 There was also a Guanyin Hall and a large Buddha character nearby, as well as blessing strips everywhere. I finished my tour of Wukong Valley here. 🚶

On the second day of the May Day holiday, we set off from the city center to Nuwa Palace early in the morning. It took about an hour and a half to reach the parking lot above. The parking lot was full, but there were still many parking spaces in the parking lot below. We bought parent-child tickets a day in advance, which were 20 yuan cheaper. We scanned the code to enter the scenic area and bought round-trip shuttle buses. It is recommended to take the shuttle bus, because the bus route is the same as the tourist route, which is dangerous. It also saves energy for climbing mountains. There are horses to ride up the mountain, which is said to cost 100 yuan per person. There are also toboggans and cable cars, but it is said that the cable car does not reach Nuwa Palace and is still quite far away. However, you can see different scenery. We walked up and down the mountain, 40 minutes up, very slow, and down very fast. My husband ran down the mountain in 13 minutes. There is a stilted building on the top of the mountain, which is said to be hung with two iron chains. There are many people in line, so you can have a look if you are not in a hurry. It is also said that Nuwa Palace is very spiritual, so if you like to worship, you must come, maybe it will come true. Note that there are dance and lion dance performances in the Grand Plaza at 11:30. We were lucky to see them when we went down the mountain. After leaving Nuwa Palace, we went to the 129th Division Site. Nuwa Palace, the 129th Division, and the Chishuiwan Ancient Town are all in one area. Especially, the 129th Division is next to the Chishuiwan Ancient Town. If you like ancient towns and have plenty of time, you can visit them together. We had lunch at a red-themed restaurant and ordered a set meal for 2-3 people, which was very affordable.

There is no admission fee, only a parking fee of 10 yuan with no time limit. It’s a very characteristic village, more meaningful than the current ancient towns. Suggested visiting time is 40-60 minutes. The village is not large, and the roads near the mountains are difficult to navigate, with many twists and turns. The Wa Huang Palace in Handan's Shexian is an hour's drive from Handan. The ticket is 68 yuan, and it is a A-rated scenic area. If you walk the whole way, it takes 2 hours to reach the top.

The last picture shows a tea bowl that is purely hand-painted and fired at 398 meters, very characteristic and worth acquiring. It caught my eye at first glance, very nice. If you want to take photos in Warring States robes, go to Guangfu Ancient Town. The makeup is very cheap. The place we went to is not recommended, 55 yuan for two sets of clothes, the makeup is very rough, completely unnecessary.
