Exploring the North Korea and China Friendship Bridge and Broken Bridge
Dandong, China (formerly Andong prior to 1945) is a city of 2 million inhabitants, situated on the Yalu River in China's southeast Liaoning province. Dandong is unique in that it is China's largest border city on the Sino-North Korean border, facing the DPRK border city of Sinuiju. China is responsible for around 40% of North Korea's export trade and a large portion of that trade passes through Dandong to Sinuiju and vice versa.
As many as 5 million Chinese tourists visit Dandong annually to catch a glimpse into life in the Hermit Kingdom, with upwards of 10,000 of those Chinese tourists travelling across the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge to visit Sinuiju.
Dandong is well off the beaten track when it comes to tourism. For those who travel here this is their only chance to have a glimpse into life of the Hermit Kingdom. For the high majority this is as close as they get to North Korea. Local Chinese companies have set up DPRK-themed boat tours, photo opportunities with Korean costumes, as well as North Korean goods such as stamps, cigarettes, alcohol, and clothing.
One of the biggest attractions of Dandong is the Broken Bridge. Located directly next to Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge, the Broken Bridge was bombed by the U.S Military during the Korean War. Though it was repaired several times during the war, the DPRK decided not to repair the Broken Bridge for good at the end of the war, leaving it broken as a reminder of the destruction caused by the Americans during the war.
In this video, YPT North Korea Tour Manager Rowan Beard takes us along the waterfront and Dandong and for a tour of the Broken Bridge.

The Broken Bridge to North Korea (Dandong, China)
We traveled by train from Shenyang to Dandong, China. There we visited the Yalu River Broken Bridge. This was the site of the Americans infamous bombing raid in 1950. It was on this bridge we also met several friendly Chinese women.

The Yalu River Bridge was meant to foster trade and commerce between the two countries. But now it sits empty on the Chinese side, and the North Korean side ends abruptly in a field.

Broken Bridge between China and North Korea
A broken bridge between China and North Korea. Unlike most 'tourist spots', this broken bridge is known only to local farmers who use the Chinese side to dry harvested corn in the sun.
Unlike other 'Broken Bridges', this bridge goes far into the North Korean side before stopping just 30 meters short of a North Korean guard house.
Full article on this under-explored bridge that even some locals don't know about:
This footage was filmed secretly so as not to arouse suspicion from North Korean soldiers or Chinese authorities. Apologies for the shaky filming.

Exploring North Korea From The Yalu River
The Yalu river (Known in Korean is Amonkgang) runs 790km along along the border of China and North Korea. In both Chinese and Korean its name means “duck green,” which refers to the color of the river. Visitors to the Yalu are often struck by the fact that China and North Korea are only a few meters from each other in some places along the river.
In the early years of both the PRC and DPRK, North Korea was perhaps the most industrialized country in East Asia, owed in part to heavy industrialization by Japan during its occupation of Korea (1910-1945), as well as heavy Soviet investment and subsidies after 1945. At that time, the North Korean side of the river was the more developed and it was common for ethnic Koreans living in China to return to North Korea for better living conditions.
Since the 1970s, however, the Chinese side of the Yalu has seen tremendous growth. Today, the Chinese border city of Dandong is bustling with traffic and construction whereas the opposite North Korean city, Sinuiju, remains – shall we say – unspoiled by bourgeoisie and capitalist ideologies.
As we covered in our last video on the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge and Broken Bridge, Dandong is a popular destination for tourists wanting a closer look at China's enigmatic neighbor. Along the river near the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge, there are a number of companies offering boat tours which will can bring you a little nearer to the North Korean side of the river where one can see details about the daily lives of Koreans. In this video, we decided to check out one of the Chinese-North Korea Boat Tours ourselves and to take you along for the ride.
