The Yalu River Broken Bridge

During the Korean War in 1950, the American aircraft bombed the bridges of the Yalu River. It repeatedly attacked the bridges in an attempt to cut off Chinese supplies to the North Koreans, Wikipedia described. The 1911 bridge was left destroyed, now termed as the Broken Bridge, which are four spans from the North Korean shore. On the other hand, the other bridge was rebuilt, the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge, making it one of few entry points of foreign tourists from China.  

This is a photo of flats in North Korea. Firstly, this photo is taken from a train qualifying this as an illegal photo. Michal wrote in his blog, M1key.net, “It felt like landing on another planet, and looked like an Oriental version of Eastern Europe before 1989.” It is actually a city in Sinuiju, the city that faces Dandong, China across the international border of the Yalu River. Since this is the first place for tourists to see, it is a little bit developed than the rural areas of the country.
