Sightseers wanting to know more about mysterious North Korea purposely float their boat near the banks of Daean, Shinuiju. Moreover, the tourists wave their hands at the North Korean people. However people turn their backs, show grimace expressions and display no signs of hospitality. As usual, tourists flash their cameras toward the people.
North Korean authorities strongly warn soldiers that "Amidst the tourists may be South Korean agents for national security reporting from Dandong. So, you must never receive any money or goods from them." Furthermore, soldiers are strongly urged to avoid their photos being taken.
Unnoticeably smoke comes out from the chimney of a Shinuiju chemical textile factory on the banks of the Yalu River. Unknown goods are being loaded into cars.

The border security guards standing on the boat deck, turn their backs on the touring boat. As the boat draws nearer, the guards purposely turn their backs to avoid the faces of the tourists. When they realize that photos are being taken, guards often raise their fists or yell abusive language.

The soldier appears to be standing in a checkpoint. Whether this post is still being used is unknown, however there is no window. Tourists who approach the surroundings of this post take the opportunity to enthusiastically capture photos of soldiers and people who seem absent-minded. Henceforth, these photos are then posted on individual websites.

Wow, in those last two photos, the boat from the China side REALLY got close to the North Korean side of the border! :-)
