Travel Around the World Season12：North Korea World made by SaoGroup：Pengfei Zhang，Qiuli，Chenwei. Wechat number：我去看世界，subscribe us for more videos in【North Korea World】Thanks.
The female tour guide is super pretty. Never thought of so many comments. Super pretty, a taste of nature original pure beauty of East Asian, not surgery plastic.
@Shadman There are a few in 720p or HD spec as there are lots of NK vids. This was one of the best i've seen for content, filmed by a South Korean who has German nationality. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IBqeC8ihsO8.html
I'm South Korean and it was really really interesting to watch this video. When the tour guides spoke in Korean, I could understand what they were saying and realized again we're from the same root. Thanks for uploading with English subtitles.
@@Srabubulupa No, we can basically understand each other, although we have different accents and some words are used in different ways or not understandable. This video allowed me to hear the informal daily North Korean language, which has been almost impossible when there was no RU-vid, and that's what I wanted to say.
I love these videos - no sensationalized commentary, no fancy editing,... just ordinary footage of the first sights one experiences upon entering Pyongyang by train, and the natural sounds and din!
I totally agree! Why North Koreans are so friendly to Chinese ppl are based on history.Why Norh Koreans are more suspicious to Westerners are also naturally based on history...Let countries and people live their lives without any infinges from outside!
@@tihinen02 north korea only continues to survive today through generosity from mainland china - no other country in the world wants to deal with north korea's poverty and need to hang on to a failed way of governing a country
I spent 5 years in China, then I returned India, currently I am in India. I loved the city of Qingdao, the interesting thing is that when I heard these people speaking Chinese, I immediately recognised the Qingdao accent of mandarin and to my surprise when they revealed they were ACTUALLY from Qingdao, I was happily surprised. I not only can speak Chinese but can also differentiate the different accents. It's been 8 years since I left China, human brain is truly amazing that I remember all of it so well today.
I spent 3 years in China too! Now back in India too. I lived in Guangzhou there many spoke Cantonese but people were amazing!! I loved them, still we have video chat with some of my friends sometimes (once in several months) haha
I wonder how Miss Jin would react if she knew there was a video of her with over 300k views and different people around the world saying she's rlly pretty
It's only a certain area of the capital that looks like this. Where they allow filming. Go to the outskirts of the city and most of the rest of country. It's a completely different story. And of course they don't want anyone to see it. It's all propaganda
That North Korean tour lady is actually speaking fluent Mandarin (Chinese) Not Korean. She spent one month doing her internship in Shanghai China before, she graduated from the top university in North Korea with the Chinese language program. The other tour lady with the glasses, used to live in China with her parents for a long time, her Mandarin is even better than most of the Chinese people. Both are Chinese culture experts.
I second that. These two ladies both speak better mandarin than the majority of Chinese people do. The lady with glasses can defintely pass for a native Chinese.
@DailyDose lol... you should never trust what you see, just watch Escaped north koreans interview. Yes, NK is clean but safe? bruh base on what NKs that escaped their says a lot of harassment and killings their, she even said everymorning a new corpe/s floats on the river.
@DailyDose and also only the Big cities have lights... in rurals and homes they only use candles, u can even see that in satellite images in google at night and proved by escapies
@DailyDose very advanced, yes. Based on what? Based on what they allow you to see? If they are so advanced why all the efforts to ''hide'' the nation? I really do not get it. People literally risk their lives to leave that place and here you are, probably living in a free country and saying that a stupid nation ruled by a childish dictactor is advanced. It is so advanced that when seen from space at night you can clearly distinguish North and South Korea. The bright part is south, and the dark side is north. Maybe they turn off the lights at night to save the planet haha
Thank you for the English subtitles. They make the video so informative. You ask great questions. Chinese tourists are certainly given more freedoms than westerners. I hope you can visit again very soon, once covid ends. Would love to see more. Your guide, Miss Jin is beautiful.
This is real North Korea in 2022! ru-vid.com/show-UCzsGbfim_NMKrX3h2O8RLVgvideos The only country in the world where citizens are not allowed to move freely through cities. Internet is also banned for fear of revealing propaganda and lies.
The English subtitles is very poorly written. Understandable, due to the fact that English is unlikely to be their primary language but they should've at least gotten someone whom English is their primary language.
테이블(식탁)이 우리와 매우 닮았습니다. 분단 반세기를 고려하면 이질적인 차림이 되어야 하는데 기구와 구성이 판박이입니다. 다시 한번 동질감을 느낍니다. Table setting is very similar to that of South Korea. Considering tha time gap after the divide for over a half century, it has to be different one but many aspects like formations and tools are a chip off the old block. We feel a sense of kinship again.
As a street photographer, I would really love to take photos of these. I haven't actually spot anyone glued to their cellphone, and the whole place gives me an old classic vibe. It is beautiful.
Really interesting to see how much more relaxed the tour guide is with the Chinese as compared to when western tourists go. All the documentaries from Americans or other western tourist were under a ton of restrictions whilst here he just films openly.
I love how all the videos of people going to North Korea are like “OMG we can’t do anything, everybody is looking at us, the guides are spying on us, omg” Whereas these Chinese tourists can ask the most casual questions they want! The atmosphere is so different
Because Western people usually have a prejudiced point of view on NK, sometimes intentionally or unintentionally challenge the status quo. While Chinese people are either being just curious or nostalgic about N. They usually feel remotely connected, and are able to show their understanding of the situation.
@@ikkeman7920 It's hard to tell. Politically actually China hates NK because of the nuclear initiative, and other factors similar to why Russia hates most post-Soviet countries. But yeah, China needs the NK as a shield or the US, and SK can easily land on the border, which China would hate more. But it's just the overall political atmosphere, Chinese people neither love nor hate NK people, but sometimes they feel connected to NK people because of historical ideology stuff.
@Пруфы Есть? Thanks for pointing this out. I guess I'm not very familiar with Russian politics, it's always good to know people don't actually hate each other in reality. I got this information from this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-06ebiTLENWo.html , although he's answering other people's questions, and referring to those mid-age people stereotype who always hate the western world. Maybe there are very few of them and other people are just fine.
What a beautiful city. No dirty on the streets and no people freaking out running to make more and more money. There is no advertising everywhere like New York, almost zero visual pollution. We have a lot to learn with this people. I will let consistent that respect that humanity.
lol it’s like that because only top 1% maybe even less are even able to live there. No one can afford cars which is exactly why the streets are empty and clean. No one has any money and government owns 99% of the businesses which is why there is no advertising cause no one is there to compete with them for the sales. Every person who has ever stepped foot outside NK has told horrific stories. Not a single person who came from NK has ever said how great of country it is 😂 You are super ignorant
north korea is a normal country with normal people. yes they have lagging infrastructure and shortages of consumer goods sometimes due to years of crippling sanctions but the western media LOVES to lie about them.
This reminds me of 1980 when I was a graduate from a tourism college in Beijing and taking internship with a state-run travel agency. I was doing exactly same job as the Korean girl is except that my clients were from Japan, a country that was then much richer than China. Being a tour guide for foreigners then was a well paid and respected job. I led groups of Japanese tourists around big hotels, restaurants and sightseeing spots in Beijing, being asked the same questions by my Japanese clients as those Chinese tourists did to the Korean tour guide. Beijing in 1980 was also as clean and simple as today's Pyongyang, and Japanese tourists were surprised and impressed how clean the streets and how friendly the local people were. They took photos everywhere using cameras I had never seen. On the other hand, average local people were not allowed to enter the foreigner oriented hotels, shops and other places. As a tour guide was a rare person who can directly communicate with foreigners, we had privileges to shop products not available to local people, eat food local people can't afford, and get tips sometimes more than our monthly salary. But now, my country has had such an astonishing change that there is no longer foreigner oriented spot existing and most average Chinese people can enjoy overseas trips and buy anything they want. What an amazing difference to China in the past 30 years!! I'm lucky and proud of being a Chinese when I see those North Korean people are repeating my past life.
It's because of China that the North Koreans are in the situation they are in...I wouldn't be so chauvinistic about being Chinese based on how the CCP treats their citizens.
Elli.. Sftu not all south korean are plastic surgery ok. There r lot of south korean that had not done plastic surgery. Sftu u simply say south korea r plastic surgery by hearing from others or media?
This is true genuine video. Great to see North Korea from these Chinese tourists. ..those western journalists is very sneaky. They always come with their eyes open to identify all the propaganda fed their entire life.
R B Yeah, because North Korea is a great place and needs propoganda to make it seem like their concentration camps are “an accommodating experience the whole family can enjoy”
@@Dufflot no....it's just your countries way of smearing the country. But really....you should really stop killing and invading countries. Blowing children's limbs off....sanctioning countries....resulting in so many deaths across the world. So...go get to your hot dog be cause it's getting cold and think about what I just said. You need to stop killing.
R B let be real north korea aint communist they just a modern kim dynasty rule , even them self say they are not communist anymore and some bs juche , live in north korea and you will know not all story are bull shit , even we from communist country know north korea aint that great , Vietnam-china-cuba-lao are the only real communist left and if you gona tell a person from the 4 country I mention to go to live in north korea non will accept it , if you gona become a fan of anything that are not capitalist , at least don't be a fan of north korea kim dynasty lol , be a fan of real communist and not bull shit dynasty rule
It's just their own life. Respect their rules and you'll have the best experience. It's so difficult for western tourists to follow the rules and keep clean.
@shalom1948hellyeah - LOL. You are so full of shit you don't even realize how racist, sexist and bigoted you are. "Defecating in public" and graffiti left on the pyramids? LOL. You are obviously projecting.
It is pretty smart. Since North Korea always has to face sanctions and doesn't trade much, they have to make money however they can. I think they should open up more tourism to western countries, which would bring in BIG BUCKS. They also export labor to other countries so they can send the money back, which i think is also pretty smart as well.
China has been North Korea’s sugar daddy not only since the 1950s but historically for several centuries as various ancient kingdoms of Korea were considered vassal states of China. Nothing surprising here when you see North Korea befriending Chinese tourism. As China continues to become wealthier every year and North Korea not gaining any wealth every year, you’ll continue to see Pyongyang less looking like a city of Korean culture and more like a city of Chinese culture. If only North Korea adopted China’s and Russia’s model of embracing capitalism … the wealth disparity between North Korea and China would not be so large. How embarrassing is it for Pyongyang to only have tourists coming from one place, China, while the norm of the rest of the world’s capitals like Paris, Rome, Berlin, London, have tourists coming from a diverse number of countries.
very compelling story in this Pandemic! I really enjoyed from the beginning with intro music to the end. I like the story tries to focus on food and people. The people in North Korea are also really good people as the South. I have tons of Chinese friends who share value and respect each other. The miso you guys tasted in restaurant is called " Gochujang" which is made mainly by the fresh red hot chili pepper and bean flour and core paste for Korean cuisine. Also the pasteurized bean paste is called as "Dwyanjang" which often use for Korean soup and for mix with Gochujang for perfect combination with Sesame leaf with sesame oil paste together, it tastes fantastic!
Thank you for the video. This is what the US doesn't want you to see- that N. Koreans are normal people and they have the same emotions, needs, and wants as people everywhere else.
cant believe how clean the roads and pavements are.......it makes the UK look third world when in comes to cleanliness the women are stunning as well .......
North Korea or not It's a breath of fresh air to see a tour video to NK where the tourists are actually there as legit tourists and not as some antagonistic "risky journalists". There's just so many of those already. inb4 people saying this is a political comment, it ain't
Very good vlog unlike the ones filled with pushy narratives. The casual vibe, comfortable to follow conversations and movements created a very immersive experience. The tour guide was pretty, so was the girl serving food. I liked her bright colors dress. It has released some of the tension filled by paranoid commentaries on North Korea.
The fact that people are imprisoned within the borders of “their” own country, can’t openly communicate with tourists, are locked away from even the internet to the rest of the world speaks all the volumes anyone needs to ever hear. How can anyone justify this?
The people are not imprisoned lmao, they are allowed to leave under the approval of the government. North Korea is not your local market when you can leave and enter whenever and for whatever reason you want. It has borders and rules it enforces to protect its sovereignty. There's a reason North Korea is the hardest country for foreign governments to send spy in. The people can openly communicate with tourists , most dont wannt to though as they mostly do not know second language. The Internet information space is dominated by anti dprk content, there's no way North Korean gov can fight and win against western propaganda machine with its big pocket and high level of expertise. The internet itself is a western project and serves no use to North Korea. You shouldnt fight the battle you cant win.The Intranet is way more appropriate for North Korea as it gives The internet's purpose without any risks and harms.
I’ve watched most of the North Korea episodes and learned so much more about North Korea. Miss Kim is such a sweetie and cutie, her inner core comes through and I can see why her Chinese fan club is enthralled with her.
@@pechi22 it's the North Korean leader who is in charge. These words and lables are used by the west and defined by the west as if it's some killer and spreads it while US has installed almost all of it's leaders in other countries such as the middle east with dictators. US uses the word "dictator" to countries that disagrees with US or dont want US meddling in their countries resources and finances. Really how many years does it take for people to understand the personality of Washington? They lie and invade cheat steal....I mean how many times does it take for people to understand our government?
kyle roy Because soviet heritage. In Union, all was clean and beautiful, and in DPRK, which was built with our support, all the same. Beautiful Country! 🇰🇵
Петр Врангель Hahhaaaa! Al was clean. In mother Russia people absolutely ruined the buildings that were lost in winter war. They bashed holes into them for no absolutely fucking reason. They left the houses to rot and didn't take care of them. Soviet union became an absolute archetype of decay, pointless destruction in Finland. And there is a good reason why. When everything is public property what is the point of taking care of it.
Even to my English eyes, I agree. She's lovely. There I was, laying in bed on a Sunday morning and watching this video. Then the tour guide appeared, and I thought, "Woooh!"
Clicked because pretty tour guide. Watched the whole thing because I found it very interesting. The meal looks good but I can't help thinking about the shortages in other places in the country. The tourist banter, though seeming superficial, did give us a glimpse into how their minds work. Those dumplings being described as "the taste of childhood" was interesting, certainly not my childhood, but it's interesting to think that it may be a relatable statement to very many people. I hope all of these people are doing well, may nations always seek to find solutions that allow their peoples to live in peace, even if that hope seems naive at times. Cheers.
every nation has occasional shortages. although no international organization could find any sign of starvation in the DPRK since 91(reasons - dissolution of USSR, drought, embargo). guides everywhere are like that. i dont see any difference. there’s no need to be constantly suspicious of North Koreans
sooooo refreshing to see this genuine representation of the DPRK. Absolutely nothing like the fearmongering nonsense western media peddles all the time. I want to visit one day!
Oh yeah, all those people fleeing north korea to south korea are also just "fearmongers" Get real. Dont fall for face level bullshit. Any country could show off their capital and ONLY their capital to try and show people "what ever you thought about us is wrong!" Also a reminder that when you look at north korea from space at night, all the lights practically come from this one city alone.
@@FrostbitexP Still doesn't change the fact that the image of NK people get through western media is at least partly distorted. Yes, the country is poor, but that is partly the fault of sanctions imposed by the West. If North Korea wasn't a regime they wouldn't even exist as a country. Not to mention that most Koreans of the North love their Glorious Leader and Country!
Indépendamment de toute espèce de considération sans objet, ce bon peuple de Corée, multimillénaire, que les vicissitudes de l'histoire ont divisé, mérite gratitude et respect de tous. Compliments et cordiales salutations au peuple de DPRK (North Koréan) d'un fidèle admirateur de France qui aime votre profond attachement aux traditions, à la culture et à l'histoire de votre cher pays. Cordiales salutations à tous les Coréens et Coréennes de DPRK ! Salutations et compliments aux Moranbong band dont le talent et les fantastiques performances musicales séduisent toujours. Merci !!! Bien à vous toutes et tous ! Adrien B .
I enjoyed the miso in Qingdao as well. Cant wait to visit again someday. Tsingtao beer is the best, especially when served in a clear plastic bag on a hot day.
@@zam023 I understand, it's like the radical version of socialism,just it surprises me. I've never stayed in a country like this. Cuba could be the closest country ,except that Cuba seems so old and decadent.
7:50 "Too many" is a bit inaccurate. The exact translation here is : "Do a lot of Chinese tourists visit here?" "Yes, a lot" "Oh... Recently is the no. of tourists even higher?" "Yes, cuz recently it's the holiday season"
