A border city in northeastern China has launched bicycle tours to neighboring North Korea.
Thirty-five
Chinese tourists joined the first self-drive travel by bicycle from Tumen city
in Jilin province to North Korea's Namyang city on Friday, said organizers. The
tourists spent three hours across the border.
The bicycle
tour, open to tourists from China, is inexpensive and only needs simple
procedures, said an official of the Tumen Tourism Bureau. He said the route is
expected to attract more tourists to the country.
Excursions
by train from Tumen to North Korea's Chilbosan resumed on Wednesday. The
tourist train was launched in April 2012, but was later suspended. Tumen also
has highway and railway services to North Korea.
