A North Korean tourism website has posted schedules for trains between Pyongyang and Beijing as well as a flight to Shanghai, raising the possibility of plans to resume regular travel between the countries that was severed during the pandemic. But one travel industry insider suggested that the resumption is “fake news,” as the DPRK continues to lock out Chinese tourists while allowing Russians to visit. The timetables posted to the DPR Korea Tour website, which is operated by the North Korean National Tourism Administration, show three routes connecting Pyongyang to Beijing, Dandong and Moscow as of Wednesday.
