The perfect way to spend your Chinese National
Holiday time off in North Korea. Highlights
of Pyongyang, Kaesong, Pyongsong and Mt.
Myohyang.
From 1305 EUR per person
Calling all adventurers! What better way to spend all of those days off for the Chinese National Holiday than exploring one of the world’s least-visited countries - but surprisingly accessible from China!
The China National Day Tour includes a comprehensive city tour of Pyongyang as well as getting you down to Kaesong south of the 38th Parallel on the North-South border. We'll also head up to Pyongsong, a satellite city of Pyongyang and a centre for the national sci-tech industry. We will also travel up to scenic Mt. Myohyang and the amazing halls of gifts to the DPRK's Leaders. Add in Anju, Hoechang, and Huichon and you have a perfect week in the DPRK!
Our comprehensive city tour of Pyongyang includes must-see sights such as the Mausoleum of President Kim Il Sung and General Kim Jong Il, and the Mansudae Grand Monument, as well as visiting more local places such as the bustling Kwangbok Supermarket, the only place in Pyongyang where tourists can spend local Won that can be changed at the black market exchange rate. It certainly won’t be a relaxed Chinese golden week away, but it is an action-packed week guaranteed to leave you wanting more!

This tour travels between Beijing-Pyongyang by train each way in a hard-sleeper carriage (6 bunks per compartment). The train journey takes 24 hours with a transfer at the city of Dandong. One-way or round-trip flights are also available. The flight takes around 90 minutes. For an extra 265 EUR you can upgrade to a one-way flight. A round-trip ticket costs an additional 435 EUR. We recommend flight entry with a train return for the best overall experience on your trip.
If you're heading back to Beijing by train this option lets you get off for an overnight in Dongrim before the next day's tour of Sinuiju — the border city with China. Spend an extra 24 hours in the DPRK seeing the sites of North Pyongan province. You will then continue on through to Beijing.
See moreInstead of immediately returning to Beijing when your tour ends you can take some extra time to visit this fascinating border city, which directly faces the DPRK town of Sinuiju, but lies on the Chinese side of the Yalu River. We offer both one-night and two-night fully guided extensions that take in all the sights of Dandong, with a special North Korea theme.
See moreAll hotel rooms on our all-inclusive group tours feature twin beds, and will be shared. If you'd like a room to yourself then you can upgrade for an extra 40 EUR per night.
See moreWe're unable to take you on one of our tours if you do not have medical insurance that covers the destination in question. Issues of isolation and infrastructure where we go mean it would be irresponsible of us to do so. We can provide this if you do not have it — or you can use your own.
