North Korea’s secretive Jagang province to allow western visitors soon: tour group

Border crossing at Ji’an-Manpho previously open only to Chinese tourists

Western tourists will soon gain access to a new destination along the North Korea-China border and a new route through one of the country’s most secretive provinces, according to the tour company Young Pioneer Tours (YPT).

Starting from the Ji’an-Manpho border, non-Chinese tour groups will for the first time be allowed to regularly cross for group day trips in Manpho and to take a train through Jagang province to Pyongyang.
