North Korea is opening its borders to foreign tourists after a gap of almost five years.

Samjiyon is located in the northern part of the country near the Chinese border.
North Korea closed its borders to tourists and its own citizens early in 2020 in an effort to protect itself from the coronavirus pandemic.
Before the pandemic, according to travel agencies, about 5,000 Western tourists visited North Korea each year.
