  If you ever got the chance, would you visit North Korea? I'm curious to hear what you have to say!

  The reason you are being asked to delete these footage is to protect North Koreans in China, but also for your own safety. Some North Koreans will do whatever it takes to protect their identities because they have nothing to lose. And there must have been some foreign spies in Dandong, especially at a time when the situation on the Korean Peninsula was very tense.

  She said she don’t understand. It is not mean she doesn’t want to talk

  Filming North Koreans in Dandong is actually crazy. it's somewhat a life/death problem if your film exposed the identity of the North Korean and he might get caught and sent back to North Korea.

  This is pure art. As someone who creates videos with a very similar aesthetic style, I know exactly how much work this took. Respect!

  Dandong is not heavily militarized. It is actually quite heavily commercialized as a tourist destination

  I went into North Korea on a budget tour from Dandong in 2018. Dandong didn't seem as sketchy then as Drew makes it out to be in the video, with the exception that as a foreigner I got a lot more stares from locals than any other place in China. Just another Chinese city that happens to border with North Korea. I enjoyed my time there. A lot of the attractions are in walking distance. When you look at North Korea from the broken bridge the idea of going inside is super exciting but when you actually take the train over to Sinŭiju the reality isn't quite as thrilling as expectations. Never left the train in Sinŭiju. All of the immigration is done on the train as the immigration officer comes on board. Not much to see of Sinŭiju outside the train window. Just a clean train platform with Some North Korean guards having a laugh among themselves. from there to Pyongyang it's just alot of brown farmland and locals on bikes. When you reach Pyongyang, that's when it gets more interesting.

  This video is a bit too dramatic, we just came back from Dandong and it is just a nice little tourist city with surreal views over the North Korea. We even had a wave to each other with the Korean guys on the other side of the border ✌️

  The reason why windows should be closed during takeoff is that Dandong Airport is also a military airport.

  I lived on the street with the barber for 15 years. Thank you for your video; it reminded me of my hometown.

  My grandfather fought in the Korean war as well. I giggled when she said "our grandfathers were enemies". I think that's beautiful.
