Dandong, previously known as Andong, is a city in the Liaoning province, China. It is on the border between China and North Korea, marked by the Yalu River. Also at this point, the river flows into Korea Bay. The size of the administrative city is 14,910 square kilometers; the urban city is 563 square kilometers in size and has 780,414 inhabitants. The administrative city covers around 2.4 million inhabitants as of 2000.
The city is across the river from Sinŭiju, North Korea. The two cities are connected by the Sino-Korea Friendship Bridge, also called the China-Korea Friendship Bridge. Another major landmark is Hushan Great Wall which marks the eastern end of the start of the Ming Dynasty's extension to the Great Wall. Other interesting tourist spots include: a museum dedicated to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (also known as the Korean War) and Jinjiang mountain that is now the city's biggest park, but used to be a Chinese army lookout.

STORYLINE
With reports that China's leaders had agreed to appropriate measures against their long-time ally North Korea on Friday, life on the border between the two countries continued as usual.
A museum and a broken bridge commemorating the history of the Korean War in the 1950s remain popular tourist spots in China's border city of Dandong.
Some visitors expressed hope that China's long-standing links with neighbouring North Korea would be maintained, despite the North's declared nuclear test.
The friendship of China and North Korea was consolidated during the Korean War. I hope the close friendship of the two countries can last forever, said one visiting student.
China has embarked on a flurry of diplomatic activity since North Korea announced on Monday it had carried out a nuclear test.
War planes, tanks and guns used in the Korean War are displayed for visitors to the museum, located in a mountain of Dandong city.
Videos of historic documentaries from the period are played on television sets inside.
There are large number of old photographs showing China's volunteer soldiers fighting American troops during the war.
China sent more than 2.9 (m) million volunteer soldiers to North Korea during the war, according to introduction materials released by the museum.
180-thousand of them died on the battlefield, the materials said.
Many older people think it should be kept as it is for future generations.

The 2nd Forgotten Korean War Incidents 1953 to 1991 - Part 1
“Incident” is another word for combat action on the DMZ. Our orders were to keep North Korea at bay without escalating these incidents into a larger war. There were 1,250 casualties including KIA’s, and WIA’s as well as a number of POW’s taken by North Korea. These pictures are but a small sampling of “incidents” that occurred on the DMZ from 1953 to 1991.

CHINA: US KOREAN WAR MIAs (V)
English/Nat
VOICED BY: Vera Frankl
XFA
United States officials said on Wednesday that for the first time they are being given access to the Chinese personnel who handled American prisoners during the Korean War.
A U-S Defense Department team visiting Beijing says new information provided by China could help resolve the fate of some 8,200 Americans unaccounted for in the Korean War.
0000 The announcement was a breakthrough for those seeking the truth about thousands of Americans who disappeared during the Korean war: Half a century after the conflict, China's military will allow researchers to interview Chinese veterans who handled American prisoners.
0016 SOUNDBITE: (English)
Yesterday was a very historical event as I say that was the first time we were able to interview individuals who participated in the Korean War for the Chinese side. It was a very cordial meeting, it was a very candid meeting, very open and free flowing.
SUPER CAPTION: Robert L. Jones, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Affairs
0039 The United States spearheaded the U-N action in Korea during the war, fighting against the Chinese backed North Korean communists.
More than eight thousand Americans were reported missing in action when the conflict ended in 1953.
Some American fighters may have been detained in Chinese administered P-O-W camps - but so far there's been little evidence.
0059 SOUNDBITE: (English)
We have had over 21,000 live sighting reports from Southeast Asia. In the investigation of all of those reports none of them have proven to be factual.
SUPER CAPTION: Robert L. Jones, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Affairs
0112 The Dan Dong War Museum in China holds few clues about the missing fighters.
And the Chinese government is unwilling to reveal documents which could unravel the mystery.
But the interviews with Chinese veterans may help do just that.

Traveling to the Yalu River - North Korean Border
Greetings from David 大卫 Dawei...
Please leave any comments or questions below
I'm exploring Northeastern China, so I decide to go over to visit Dandong, which is on the border with North Korea. Unfortunately, I did not have time to travel to their section of the Great Wall and their Korean War Museum was closed for renovations (at least that is what I was told), so I walk down to the river and check out the bridge destroyed by the US Air Force during the Korean War

CHINA-NORTH KOREA BORDER: KOREAS SUMMIT
Mandarin/Nat
XFA
North Korea's neighbour China hopes that the one-day delay to the long-awaited summit between the leaders of North and South Korea does not spell the end to any chance of reconciliation between them.
China's border with North Korea stretches for some 14-hundred kilometres (800 miles), but in recent years, relations between the two nations have been frosty.
China's leaders hope next week's summit are a sign that Pyongyang is opening up.
Nowhere are those hopes higher than in the northern border city of Dandong which lies just across the river from the North Korean town of Sinujiu.
For many people, this bridge in northern China might just look like any other one.
But it's not.
This steel structure across the Yalu river is in reality one of the only remaining 'check-point Charlies' left from the Cold War around the world.
Across the water, a few hundred meters from the Chinese city of Dandong in Liaoning, lies the People's Democratic Republic of North Korea D-P-R-K.
Isolated from the rest of the world for the last 50 years, little is known today about the 24 (m) million people who live in the world's last stronghold of hard line Communism.
These desolate river banks, with their rotten fishing boats and inactive cranes are probably the closest most outsiders get to North Korea.
But boats can be hired which take visitors within just a few metres of the North Korean river banks and from there it's possible to get a better idea of what life is like there.
Facing the Chinese city of Dandong lies the North Korean town of Sinuiju, a city which looks like China a few decades ago.
These half finished houses on the outskirts of Sinuijiu give the impression of economic deprivation, as do these children washing their clothes in the river.
Decades apart in developement, both sides have a lot in common apart from Communism.
Brothers in arms during the Korean war, ethnic ties between the two countries are still very strong and the chance to pay a visit to the bridge and take a peep at the other side attracts many Chinese tourist today.
In recent times, having your picture taken in a traditional Korean outfit on the side of the river has become a must for anyone visiting Dandong, and is just part of a growing tourist industry.
Once jammed by lines of trucks bringing Chinese goods into North Korea, traffic on the bridge has dwindled to nothing in recent years, since relations between China and North Korea cooled.
But it's common knowledge in Dandong that Chinese goods still cross the border whether by road or river, mostly on a barter trade exchange basis, food for scrap metal.
Beside the friendship bridge built by the Japanese, lies the original one, a reminder of the past and a common opposition to U-S imperialism.
On November 14, 1950, U-S planes bombed four of the bridge's struts on the north Korean side cutting a vital logistics supply road between North Korea and China, sending a strong signal to the Chinese.
The metallic structure still standing intact on the Chinese side has since become a platform for the tourists.
These twisted metallic structures and reproduction U-S bombs are testimony to the battle.
But they are not the only reminders.
Inside Dandong, is the second most visited spot in the whole city: the museum of the Patriotic Volunteers in Korea.
In the autumn of 1950, thousands of Chinese 'volunteers' poured across the Yalu river to help the North Koreans and
fight the Americans who were reaching north to the banks of the river.
Many of them never came back and the city erected this museum to make sure they will never be forgotten.
Here, everything speaks of the great friendship between North Korea and China.

N. Korean embassy in China posts pictures of S. Korean, U.S. Presidents
주중 북한대사관, 처음으로 한국•미국 대통령 사진 내걸어
A bulletin board outside the North Korean embassy in China has posted pictures of the South Korean and U.S. presidents... in what's likely a diplomatic message.
The board used to have pictures of the summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Chinese President Xi Jinping ONLY.
But today, the embassy put up pictures of Kim's summit with President Moon Jae-in and the one with U.S. President Trump... as well as Kim's meeting in May with the Russian foreign minister.
This bulletin board at the Beijing embassy is used for propaganda.
The change comes as the two Koreas mark the 65th anniversary of their armistice agreement.
Observers say North Korea could be emphasizing that it wants to formally end the Korean War and its isolation as soon as possible.

IMPROVING N. KOREA-CHINA RELATIONS / KBS뉴스(News)
[Anchor Lead]
North Korea and China appear to be on friendly terms again as the two countries get ready to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un is expected to visit China on that day and North Korea is preparing to open a new bridge over the Yalu River to connect the two sides.
[Pkg]
The New Yalu River Bridge connecting Sinuiju in North Korea and Dandong in China. Completed in 2014, but it has been left unopened because no access road was available. However, reports have confirmed that the regime started getting ready for the bridge opening in mid-August. According to multiple sources, to carry out its leader Kim Jong-un's Order Number 1, North Korea started building access roads to the New Yalu River Bridge about a month ago.
[Soundbite] (DANDONG RESIDENT) : It will become easier to do shopping or trading and for friends and relatives to visit. We also want the bridge opened soon.
This telescopic camera shot doesn't show any construction underway near the bridge, but reportedly workers already started building an access road from Yongchon in Pyonganbuk-do Province. It will take more time for North Korea to set up immigration facilities, but trade and personnel exchanges between Pyongyang and Beijing are expected to spike once the bridge opens. The Resist America and Aid Korea Memorial Hall has come under the spotlight as the two sides get ready to celebrate 70 years of bilateral diplomatic relations. The war of resisting America and aiding Korea is what China calls the Korean War. This memorial hall is poised for re-opening after undergoing a three-year renovation. Diplomatic sources say Kim Jong-un may even visit the museum next month.
[Soundbite] (EMPLOYEE OF RESIST AMERICA AND AID KOREA MEMORIAL HALL IN DANDONG) : I've heard about it but it could be just speculations, because we didn't receive any official notice. We don't know who's coming.
As all signs point to the North Korean
