What kind of life you can live in North Korea with 10,000 yuan and how long it can take, you can only know if you have experienced it firsthand.
The trip to North Korea is a place that many people yearn to go, because of the special and some unknown mysteries of North Korea, which is even more desirable, and I am honored that because of the needs of work, I have been to North Korea several times, so I have a deep feeling for North Korea.
We all know that North Korea is our neighbor, covers a relatively small area, and the proportion of population is exactly the opposite of the mainland, there are more women than men, so North Korea's North Korea does not have a man who cannot marry a daughter-in-law, but the consumption level of North Korea is very different from that of the mainland. Locals earn between 350 and 400 a month, which is only for ordinary people, and there are some more well-paid occupations, such as drivers and tour guides, who are twice or more a month than ordinary people, and these people account for only a small part. Therefore, 10,000 yuan in North Korea is all the salary of ordinary people for two and a half years, if the ordinary family in North Korea has 10,000 yuan, his family's life can be described as wealthy, which is equivalent to the mainland in the eighties and nineties of 10,000 yuan households, every day can eat fragrant and drink spicy.
In fact, those who have learned about North Korean culture know that North Korea has quite good welfare benefits, housing, medical care and education, which are the three major problems that plague everyone, but in North Korea, they are provided for free like citizens.
But every day life still needs to spend money, life good and bad life can be reflected, ordinary people may eat a meal of meat in ten days and a half a month, eating meat is not what we imagine, serve a pot of braised pork or a pot of ribs, they just symbolically put a few pieces of meat in the soup, borrow a taste, so walking on the streets of North Korea basically do not see fat, mainly caused by perennial malnutrition.
But this 10,000 yuan is exchanged for Chinese or people from other countries go to North Korea to consume, and it may be gone in a few days, which is still a relatively economical situation.
Why do you say that? Because I have personally experienced, when I first went to North Korea, I had to add a meal at night, because the food in the North Korean restaurant did not have any oil and water, so I decided to buy some seafood, North Korea's seafood is still very good, we go to North Korea to buy things The tour guide must follow, but also to the designated place to buy, did not expect to know.
The price of North Korean seafood is not cheaper than China, prawns, crabs, scallops, squid, and others are sixty-one pounds, and they don't bargain, they are more expensive than China, especially North Korea's drinks are even more expensive, China's three-yuan drink, in North Korea it is sold for ten yuan, the settlement is also settled in yuan, there is no way to buy some seafood and drinks, a total of more than five thousand yuan (because there are many people, less is not enough to eat), to be honest, it really hurts, so who will spend this ten thousand yuan score, If North Korean locals have this 10,000 yuan, they may spend a year and a half, and if they go to North Korea as tourists, 10,000 yuan may be gone for ten days and a half month, because food and accommodation alone account for a considerable part.
Because we went as tourists, in order to feel the local customs and food of North Korea, spending money may be more generous than usual, especially the most famous cold noodles in North Korea, a bowl costs more than 50 yuan, if you are ordering side dishes and beer, a meal can not really come down.
In fact, many people want to travel to North Korea, which is a mysterious country, and after visiting, not only will they feel better, but they can also enjoy the local Korean culture. Therefore, many young friends are on holidays, so 10,000 yuan can only last for half a month
In fact, no matter where you are, tourism is a costly-consuming thing after all, so if you want to save money, try to go to some niche attractions, so that the ticket is not only very low, but also the scenery on the way is very beautiful. The most expensive place to travel is nothing more than food and accommodation, so as long as these two things are completely controlled, then 10,000 yuan can still survive for a long time, and for North Korean locals, 10,000 yuan is likely to survive for about a year.
If you go to North Korea purely for fun, sign up for a group, don't buy anything, bring five hundred yuan, there are still a few tickets left, because North Korea does not buy and sell, buy or not buy is up to you, even if you don't spend a penny, the North Korean tour guide is still the same amiable attitude towards you.
In fact, when I went to North Korea, I knew that the real life in North Korea is not the same as we imagined, and now North Korea is indeed similar to the mainland in the eighties and nineties, but there is also a big difference, only when I go to North Korea can I feel it most intuitively.
There are many friends who also want to go to North Korea to see, but they don't know how to go, don't know what procedures need to be completed, and what should I pay attention to when I go? Here I can elaborate.
In fact, going to North Korea is very simple, North Korea travel is different from going to other countries, the whole process is very simple.
There are two ways to travel to North Korea, train and plane, although the plane is fast, but there are not many people who choose, more tourists tend to travel by train, this reason is not only a matter of fare, because you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the entire Yalu River Bridge along the way, the villages and characteristic buildings along the way, but also more intuitively reflect the most real side of North Korea, as long as you look, there will be a feeling of nostalgia.
Basically, everyone thinks that there are only these two ways to go to North Korea, in fact, there is another one, most people do not know, that is, walk to North Korea from the map city of Yanbian Prefecture, Jilin Province, because Tumen is the only city in China that has a road and rail to North Korea at the same time, if it is a day trip, even a passport is not required, because only more than three days to go to North Korea must be processed, as long as you register with the local public security bureau, the price of the day trip is still very cheap, when there is no epidemic, A person can go to North Korea on foot for only 100 yuan, and manage a meal at noon, which can be said to be quite cost-effective.
At that time, we were going to North Korea from the Dandong port, stayed in Dandong for one night, and the next day boarded the green train to Pyongyang, which we had not taken for many years.
The train soon arrived in the North Korean city of Sinuiju, we went through the regular procedures here, the North Korean military checked each of our luggage, especially mobile phones and cameras, in order to comply with local regulations, we deposited the mobile phone at customs, the price is okay, ten yuan a day, only with a camera, this point, the tour guide told us very early, in North Korea mobile phone signal is not available, is equivalent to a decoration, some places are not allowed to take photos.
The train stayed at Sinuiju Station for about two hours, and finally set off for Pyongyang, traveling very slowly, about 6 hours, without a mobile phone, I felt that the world had lost its original beauty, and it was not very lonely along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and the most talked about was when I was a child, which not only reminded people of interesting stories in the eighties and nineties.
It was past six o'clock in the evening at the Pyongyang train station, and we set off for dinner at the North Korean restaurant with the North Korean guide, which is what we are looking forward to, because no one knows how the food in North Korea is.
I didn't find a hotel that was very distinctive, in order to welcome us who came from afar, we specially arranged a lot of song and dance projects, which made people look refreshed, and the fatigue of long car rides was swept away.
We are honored to be arranged into the Giethoorn Hotel in North Korea, I heard that this is a five-star hotel in North Korea, both the facilities and treatment are very classy, the appearance is still very modern, maybe this is the local characteristics of North Korea! After all, North Korea and some developed countries are incomparable, most of the meals in the hotel are mainly kimchi, which is quite refreshing to eat, after all, we are here to experience life, so we can't be too picky.
The facilities in the rooms are also relatively general, I feel that they are not as good as the domestic standard rooms, there are disposable slippers, toiletries are available, can be provided for free, the TV is still old-fashioned, and there are many snowflake spots, the programs are all local, and I can't understand a word.
The foreign-related shops on the first floor of the hotel, the number of food samples in it is relatively small, but the price is not generally expensive, fortunately, when we came, we specially prepared a lot of snacks, even instant noodles brought a lot, I am afraid that it will become a mess when I come back from North Korea.
There are very few cars on the roads in North Korea, most of them are cyclists or on foot, and occasionally electric bicycles can be seen.
Pyongyang's roads are wide, so there are no traffic jams because there are fewer vehicles, and the tour guide said that only athletes or people who have contributed to the country will have private vehicles, and the vehicles on the road are basically enterprises and the state.
There are no billboards on the streets of North Korea, and the most are some slogans, just like in China in the seventies and eighties.
The North Korean people are dressed very plainly, their clothes are mainly black and gray, and soldiers in military uniforms can be seen everywhere, because more than 95% of the young people in North Korea will choose to become soldiers, which is an honor for them.
In the afternoon, we went to the Korean Children's Cultural Palace to watch the children's North Korea, and the tour guide told us that in order to express our hearts, we could buy some pens and books for the children, the price was the same, two yuan a piece.
What impressed us the most was the Korean Liujing Hotel, Triumphal Arch, Myohyangsan Mountain, Mangyeongdae, and the museum are very distinctive.
Our meals are also very hearty, basically not the same, there are meat and vegetarian soup, spicy cabbage is indispensable, because this is the national dish of North Korea.
North Koreans love to be clean and do not throw garbage at will, so when you go to North Korea, you must pay attention to your behavior and do not embarrass Chinese.
The trip to North Korea gave me a new understanding of this place, although their living conditions are relatively backward, but the country's policy for everyone is very good, and they are also very close, and life is very comfortable for everyone, there is no pressure, so North Korea is a country worth visiting.
