Without a doubt one of the top tours of the DPRK tourist season, the birthday of President Kim Il Sung is the biggest celebration of the decade. We expect this to be a huge celebration with fireworks, mass dancing and a number of other events that will most likely be announced much nearer the time to mark the anniversary of the President’s birthday.
By making use of travelling from Dandong, which is the Chinese border city to the DPRK and is easily reachable from most of China, we are able to offer a great price that has you in North Korea for 2 nights and 3 days, which is inclusive of one full day of seeing all the main sites of Pyongyang such as the Juche tower, Kim Il Sung Square, Pyongyang Metro, Korean War Museum, the large bronze statues, a department store and much more!
This trip is perfect for those people who are already in China or those simply traveling through who do not have the time or budget to do a full trip. If you need assistance with organising accommodation in Dandong or making your way to or from Dandong city, we’ll be happy to help book for you!
Be sure to book and reserve your spot on tour before it’s too late!
Please note: All travellers must have a re-entry visa into China as there isn’t enough time to apply for a Chinese visa in Pyongyang and the 144 hour transfer visa doesn’t permit rail use.
