CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Do I need a passport to go to North Korea or Haishenwan from Hunchun?

1. Do I need a passport to go to North Korea or Haishenwan from Hunchun?

It is very easy to go to North Korea from Hunchun. As long as you have a passport and a North Korean company issues you a business inspection invitation letter, you can go there. The invitation letter is valid for one month. During the one-month period, you can enter and exit Rason City in North Korea as you like and move freely. Those who want to go there for inspection and business must go there in this way. Enter the bridge connecting the two countries from here

2. How about North Korean dried sea cucumbers? Is the quality good? What is the difference between them and Chinese sea cucumbers?

The processing of Korean sea cucumber is very rough

Low production level

And the Korean sea cucumber is not thick enough

However, the price is relatively cheap, but they are basically smuggled in.

If you don't want to buy good things, you can still eat them carefully.

It is a sea cucumber after all.

Wish you happy

3. How much is one pound of 120 heads of Korean dried sea cucumber?

It is relatively cheaper to buy it in North Korea, about 500 RMB.

4. Why doesn’t North Korea build a canal at its narrowest east-west point?

First, North Korea has long been under sanctions from the international community and is basically isolated from the world. Its trade volume is relatively small. In addition, its population is small and consumption is low, so its needs can be met by land transportation.

Second, the economy and technology were underdeveloped, the problem of food and clothing had not been solved, and there was no economic and technical capability to open such a large canal project.

Third, even if there is the ability to open a canal, due to geographical and political issues, the volume of ships passing through is small and cannot be compared with the Panama Canal, and it will be a long time before the investment is recovered.

Why doesn't North Korea build a canal at its narrowest point? The reasons are as follows:

First, this country has been isolated from the international community for a long time, so its way of thinking is naturally different from common sense;

Second, this country seems to regard everyone else as an enemy, so how can it easily let others pass through its home?

Third, it cannot afford such a large project based on its national strength; and it is impossible for it to allow other countries to do this project.

The idea is good, but it is easier said than done. Although ships from the West Korea Bay enter from the mouth of the Taedong River, the Taebaek Mountains upstream of the Taedong River are over 1,000 meters above sea level, and the actual navigable river section is only about 50 kilometers. Moreover, the Taebaek Mountains are the watershed between the east and west rivers of North Korea, blocking the connection between the east and west rivers of North Korea. It is impossible to build a canal by drilling through the mountains.
