North Korea will reopen one city to foreign tourists in December after nearly five years of border closures due to the Covid pandemic, according to tour operators.
At least two China-based operators announced that tourists will soon be allowed to visit the mountainous northern city of Samjiyon.
North Korea has only allowed Russian tourists to enter the country since early 2024, amid warming ties between the two nations.
It was only in August last year that North Korea allowed the return of citizens who were locked out because of border controls, one of the last few countries to do so.
