Tip [Edit this paragraph] * It is not allowed to take photos on the way from Sinuiju to Pyongyang, and it is not allowed to throw souvenirs at Koreans outside the window out of friendship. According to Korean national customs, it is extremely impolite to throw things at others.
* The Korean people respect and love their leaders. Everyone should do as the Romans do and respect the national conditions of the DPRK. When visiting the statue of the leader, you should not imitate the posture of the leader or sit and take pictures; Do not comment on leaders; Don't comment on the economic situation of North Korea.
* Visiting relatives and friends and leaving the group activities are not allowed during the trip.
* North Korea, like China, is a well-known etiquette country in the East. Therefore, we should pay attention to civilization and hygiene, be civilized tourists, control alcohol consumption, don't make loud noises when eating, don't smoke in places where there is no ashtray, keep the station wagon clean, and don't spit everywhere, so as to bring the good image of the reform, opening up, prosperity and strength of the Korean people to the North Korean people.
* There are no restrictions on camera specifications, but recently, when tourists enter and leave the North Korean customs, the North Korean border guards occasionally check the photos in their digital cameras. As long as they find that they think the photos are unqualified, they will delete the photos or fine them. In fact, North Korea has not made it clear: What can be filmed? What can't be filmed, so: in China, you'd better prepare two memory cards in advance. When entering and leaving the North Korean customs, take out the card with many photos and put it in the big luggage (the inspection of big luggage is relatively loose), and replace it with a blank card or a card that you think is absolutely fine (that is, the small-capacity card that comes with the camera), so you can be sure. Don't panic if individual North Korean customs officers impose fines on guests. If you want to argue, you can ask the DPRK to show the relevant laws and regulations of the DPRK and explain the basis for their fines. If there is no legal and regulatory basis, you can completely refuse to pay the fine. In addition, when you go through the customs, you'd better not take your camera with you and put it in your big luggage. Remember not to take pictures when you go through customs. Please try to keep a low profile. Film cameras have no such problems.

* Welcome to use RMB for shopping in North Korea. Tourists usually visit two or three souvenir shops, all of which are foreign exchange shops, similar to the Friendship Store in China. Prices are mostly euros, and goods are expensive. The waiter will settle the account with you in RMB. The general ratio is 1 euro 165438 0 yuan RMB. Waiters like to accept RMB very much, because it is more convenient to exchange RMB, and there is no need to exchange it for Korean won, because the shops where foreign guests go can't be used. In North Korea, according to the official exchange rate, 1 RMB is exchanged for 17 won, but it can be exchanged for hundreds of RMB on the black market. According to the exchange rate in the first half of 2008, 1 RMB can be exchanged for about 300 won on the black market in North Korea, but for foreigners, the won is useless and can only be used as a souvenir, because foreigners are not allowed to enter and visit the supply and marketing cooperatives or shops where Koreans go. Foreigners can only go shopping in foreign exchange shops and can only use RMB or other foreign currencies. In these stores, you can try to bargain for those above 500 yuan.
