**Important Travel Advisory**
Recent online speculation regarding the opening of Quanhe Port in Yanji, Jilin Province, for tourism to North Korea is **unfounded and misleading**. No official announcements have been made to confirm these claims.
At present, **only approved economic and trade delegations** are permitted to cross into North Korea. **Tourist visits remain strictly prohibited**, and any attempts to disguise tourism under the guise of business activities are **not authorized**.
For those interested in visiting North Korea, **strict regulations apply**:
– Travel must be arranged **exclusively through licensed tour operators**.
– Only agencies that have submitted a **1.4 million RMB security deposit** are legally permitted to organize such trips.
**Beware of unauthorized services**—any other organizations offering North Korean travel packages are operating **illegally** and should be avoided.
Plan wisely and ensure compliance with official guidelines for a safe and legitimate travel experience.

This is really disappointing to hear. I was hoping North Korea would reopen soon. It seems like we’ll have to wait for official word before making any plans. Business trips don’t sound like a viable option for most travelers.
