North Korea to reopen for tourism after five years

North Korea is finally reopening to foreign tourists in December, allowing visitors to the northern city of Samjiyon after nearly five years of pandemic-induced isolation.

Tour operators in China are buzzing with excitement, though some remain skeptical—”I’ll believe it when I see it,” says one expert, echoing what we’re all thinking.

While the rest of the country might still be off-limits, Samjiyon, at the base of the legendary Mount Paektu, is getting a serious glow-up, complete with a revamped airport and new hotels.

Kim Jong Un is clearly rolling out the red carpet—but only for “friendly” nations.

So far, the only tourists allowed have been Russians, and maybe a few adventurous Chinese travelers.

Despite the grand promises, it’s unclear if everything will be ready in time, the BBC has reported.
