That afternoon, I was reminded how I didn’t get to explore the Yalu River, it was because I was found by my tour guide/driver and driven off to the other side of the Yalu River where there was more development in the North Korean side. I continued walking along the promenade area which gradually turned into a road. There wasn’t much activity along this area except for the occasional vehicle which passes by. There were some barbeque restaurants he fronting the North Korean side but they didn’t seem to be open. Frankly, I don’t see the point of eating here at night since there wasn’t anything to see on the North Korean side as it will be pitch black.

My walk along the Yalu River brings me to a small bend in the river. The Yalu River seemed to be an idyllic place to explore since there was very little development here especially in the North Korean side. I don’t know how much of the Yalu River is in the Chinese side as there was no line delineating the border. My guess is that the river itself is the border. From where I was, there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to get to the river as it was all fenced out. There was a small plantation on the Chinese side of the river but I don’t see how you could get there.
