North Korea opens border city to South
North Korea yesterday opened a second destination to South Korean tourists, the historic city of Kaesong near their border.
AFP reported that 10 buses carrying some 250 day-trippers and 100 others drove across the frontier to Kaesong – the first time the sensitive border city has been opened to cross-border tourists since the end of the Korean War in 1953.
The scenic Mount Kumgang resort on the east coast, which opened in 1998, was previously the only other destination for ordinary cross-border visitors.
