Dandong is also home to a large ethnic Korean population, who have opened restaurants serving North Korean food. This one in Dandong is playing a North Korean propaganda program as customers enjoy their meal.
Since Kim Jong Un pledged to create a "favorable environment" for foreign investment in his country in , property prices in Dandong have shot up. The New Zone is one of the most popular areas for property buyers. It's home to various multi-storied residential blocks and this massive coffee shop, named One Cafe.
A massive new road bridge had been constructed, but never opened. The North Korean end finishes in a field. Business Insider produced a video in about the stalled project, which some hoped would get back on track.
Seafood is a big part of the Dandong diet — which is not surprising, considering its proximity to the Yellow Sea. Here's a wet market in the city. It also has this sprawling street market. Meanwhile, life in Sinuiju, the neighboring North Korean city, seems vastly different. This North Korean woman and child are washing vegetables in river water along the Yalu bank.
Some North Koreans, if they're lucky, get to take vessels down the Yalu to see Dandong. They're unlikely to get too close to China, though, as it is illegal in North Korea to leave the country without the government's permission. North Korea also deploys military personnel to keep watch over its borders. These soldiers are patrolling the embankment on Hwanggumpyong Island in the middle of the Yalu. Kim likely saw the contrast between these cities when he traveled into Dandong this February en route to Vietnam, where he met President Donald Trump.
Dandong is clearly aware of its unique position as a neighboring city to North Korea, and capitalizes on it by operating tours along its side of the Yalu River. Tourists can take a boat from China to get closer to North Korea. Some tour operators sell bags of bread and biscuits, which tourists can throw onto the North Korean shore for guards and children, Australia's SBS News reported. This couple even hired a boat to take their wedding photos. Some Dandong locals have also set up stalls by the Yalu River boardwalk, where people can buy souvenirs.
