Description
Dandong is a city located in the northeastern part of China, specifically in Liaoning Province. It is situated on the banks of the Yalu River, directly across from the North Korean city of Sinuiju. Dandong serves as one of the busiest border crossings between China and North Korea and has a significant role in trade and cultural exchange between the two nations.
The city is known for its historical and cultural attractions, including several parks, museums, and the famous Yalu River Broken Bridge, which was partially destroyed during the Korean War. This bridge, known locally as the 'Broken Bridge,' serves as a poignant reminder of the region's tumultuous history and offers stunning views of the river and the border.
With a population of over 600,000 residents, Dandong is an important industrial base in Liaoning Province, focusing on sectors such as textiles, machinery, and food processing. The city also offers beautiful natural landscapes, including mountains and rivers, making it an attractive destination for both tourists and those seeking a glimpse into the life along the China-North Korea border.
