Yalu River

The Yalu River is a river primarily known as the natural border between North Korea and China, running between the two countries for nearly 800km.

The most prominent areas situated on the river are Dandong and Sinuiju, largely acting as the main hubs of trade, commerce and entry between the two countries. Several bridges span the river, including the Broken Bridge, the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge and the New Yalu River Bridge which has yet to be completed.

Tourist Attractions
Tourists can visit the Broken Bridge, half of which was bombed and destroyed by American bombers in the Korean War. Visitors can also take a speedboat ride up the Yalu River which involves drawing very close to North Korean shores, witnessing the hardships of life in the country directly.
