Chinese tourists flock to North Korea ahead of Xi-Kim summit
- 5 years ago
Chinese tourist numbers in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang have reached record highs, with as many as 2,000 people going to the city per day. They pay about US$360 for a three-day trip. The flood of tourists has forced Pyongyang to impose a limit on arrivals, according to industry sources. The city will be the venue for a Xi-Kim summit on June 20, 2019, the first visit by a Chinese leader since Hu Jintao in 2005.
