All U.S. citizens need a visa to enter North Korea. This must be obtained from a DPRK embassy or consulate before the trip and cannot be obtained upon arrival.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea, is a country in East Asia constituting the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. It is bordered to the north by China and by Russia along the Amnok (known as the Yalu in Chinese) and Tumen rivers, and to the south by South Korea, with the heavily fortified Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two.
The cuisine of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, commonly known as North Korea, is characterized by its reliance on staple ingredients such as rice, maize, and kimchi, a fermented vegetable dish. Traditional meals often include a variety of side dishes, known as banchan, which accompany the main course. Commonly used ingredients include soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil, which add depth and flavor to dishes. Popular dishes include naengmyeon, a cold noodle dish, and bulgogi, marinated beef. The cuisine is influenced by the country's agricultural practices and the availability of resources, leading to a focus on seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.
