Agree. One more thing to add is that there are also other ethnic minorities in Dandong, including Manchu, Xibe, Mongolian, and Hui. These four along with the Korean-Chinese are the major ethnic minorities in this city. The population of Korean-Chinese in the city is about 20,000, which is not a big number.
Minus the skies being so grey the country itself is so beautiful. It’s sad on how the ruling class decides who we speak to. Government destroys humanity because we the people allow it to happen. It is not the individual person the average person that is mean it is the government that trains the minds of people starting from a child. So here in America you are slowly and methodically trained to hate other countries so when they open the borders to other countries we are trained to hate fight each other. So in the end is to divide & conquer the people. In the Bible it says my people know who they are because of lack of knowledge. I’m not a Bible scholar I do not memorize scripture but one thing I do know is having faith in whom who created the earth. Once again I love watching & learning different cultures the people you meet are such beautiful people. I would to be able to see another country.
@@larissatom6910 FYI Changbai County and Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture are also places where you can get a glimpse (or probably a better view) of North Korea.
To be honest, there are not so many Korean Chinese people living in Dandong, they account for less than 1% of Dandong's population. Most Korean Chinese live in Yanbian and Changbai, close to the northeastern border of North Korea. There you can feel the real Korean Chinese culture. The Korean signs you can see in Dandong are basically written for real North Koreans, who had close personnel and economic exchanges with Dandong before Covid, since it is North Korea's largest gateway to the outside world.
The so-called "North Koreans" you thought you were talking to at that street restaurant were actually Chinese citizens of Korean ethnicity. You can't just assume Korean-looking people you meet in China are North Koreans. Most likely, they aren't.
Well, you could assume that in a border town. Maybe not in the rest of China, but you can make the assumption at a border town. I wonder if the Korean Chinese still speak Korean anf if so, how different does it sound compared to NK and SK. To be honest, it is hard to keep track of different ethnic groups in China, since there are so many groups and languages and different points in history. Much like Chinese communities in the West, some people are descendants of very early Chinese railroad workers from the 1800's and others came along during the 20th century and even now.
I just recently watched The Little Chinese Everywhere channel content about China North Korea border , but her take on it is very calm without prejudice 😊 she doesn’t make a big deal out of it and she is very thorough and speaks very well. It is very interesting these borders .
Filming North Koreans in Dandong is actually crazy. it's somewhat a life/death problem if your film exposed the identity of the North Korean and he might get caught and sent back to North Korea.
China will not catch North Koreans who are law-abiding and don't want run to South Korea, for the ones want run to South Korea, China will try to drive them to Mongolia or Thailand, and let them go South Korea from Mongolia or Thailand not China. In addition, South Korea does not care about North Koreans at all, voice is big and action is small, only accepting 100 North Koreans per half year, if they really want, China can send 1,000 North Koreans to South Korea per year, especially in winter.
The reason you are being asked to delete these footage is to protect North Koreans in China, but also for your own safety. Some North Koreans will do whatever it takes to protect their identities because they have nothing to lose. And there must have been some foreign spies in Dandong, especially at a time when the situation on the Korean Peninsula was very tense.
Exactly. It’s just frustrating that westerners are just so paranoid of being “watched”. Like dude, you’re nobody, no one cares about you unless you break the law.
This video is a bit too dramatic, we just came back from Dandong and it is just a nice little tourist city with surreal views over the North Korea. We even had a wave to each other with the Korean guys on the other side of the border ✌️
He put alot to propaganda in his video. Ask leading questions everyone "NK is a scary place, are you scared" , everyone is like "what are you talking about? No big deal"
This dude makes a big deal about everything. Dude is not the only foreigner that makes videos like this. Even South Koreans come to this place and take videos, and they are very calm and respectful.

Dandong didn't seem as sketchy then as Drew makes it out to be in the video, with the exception that as a foreigner I got a lot more stares from locals than any other place in China. Just another Chinese city that happens to border with North Korea. I enjoyed my time there. A lot of the attractions are in walking distance. When you look at North Korea from the broken bridge the idea of going inside is super exciting but when you actually take the train over to Sinŭiju the reality isn't quite as thrilling as expectations. Never left the train in Sinŭiju. All of the immigration is done on the train as the immigration officer comes on board. Not much to see of Sinŭiju outside the train window. Just a clean train platform with Some North Korean guards having a laugh among themselves. from there to Pyongyang it's just alot of brown farmland and locals on bikes. When you reach Pyongyang, that's when it gets more interesting.

Congratulations on mastering the filming techniques of BBC and CNN. As for Dandong, many TH-camrs have already been here, most of whom are from South Korea, Japan, and Thailand. I don't know if there are really fools who believe the tense atmosphere you created.
This phenomenon has a specific term in Chinese internet slang: "虚空索敌" , "imaginary enemy hunting“. Please distinguish between Chinese Korean people and North Koreans before making such videos, otherwise it could easily mislead the audience.
stop being overdramatic , its a pretty normal border city with many foreign visttors and u r from America, a country with surveillance cameras everywhere
at around 10:00 minutes, there is no way you convinced a security official that you are not a spy. like someone else had mentioned, this is overly dramatic.
It's so hilariously funny, old Drew kidd, you blurred your (North) Korean Chinese guide's face that you claimed to protect her, but you are fully aware that there are CCTV cameras everywhere!! So???
I pray that Donald Trump comes into power. Donald Trump has made us realize the importance of saving in digital currency, which I have already started doing, and I’m always happy about that.
It is simply the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
I'm Brazilian and can I be honest? I sometimes watch your videos because it's a tangible way of getting to know the world. It's funny that you comment on ''anti-American propaganda'' on the bridge, when you literally went there to make anti-China, anti-Korean propaganda, all of which is allowed, I say, I don't want it to sound like an offense, but when someone tries to explain the context history of somewhere, or even a tip, or even trying to know the history of the place you visit, makes visits richer.
That is not anti-American propaganda. The film on the bridge tells the history of the area and the bridge, the Korean War. Many foreigners have filmed videos there. But this person made up a lot of content for traffic and storytelling. What is even more ridiculous is that North Korea's isolation and poverty are the result of decades of blockade and embargo by the United States using economic and military hegemony. Now an American plays God and comes to the North Korean border to mock this poor country.
@@tiaoyi-bx5yi Le système capitaliste est très très mauvais mais c'est parce-que le pays le plus capitaliste au monde ne commerce plus avec la Corée que la Corée est pauvre ? Donc le capitalisme c'est bien, finalement ?
Amigo, hora alguma ele fez campanha anti Korea ou anti China ele simplesmente narrou os fatos. Os fatos em si são anti comunista. Friend, I think he didn’t talk against North Korea or china, he just spoke facts, the facts are against communist
People has the right to ask you to delete the footage that take their faces, it is a basic human right in China, called "肖像權" which is protected by the Civil Code of PRC. Don't think everyone are willing to let you film them publicly or secretly, especially you are asking them question that may involve western agenda, I think that may make some Chinese and North Korean working there feel uncomfortable and get them into trouble (just like you say something bad and not anthorized about your company publicly in you name, the company officier may warn you or even fire you).
The broken bridge was destoryed by US bombers during the Korean War, and the US bombers also crossed the border to bomb a lot of places in China. That is why there are sculptures and video telling about the history of Korean War near that river. But you seems to be not interested in that part of history as a visitor, and alwasy try to stick with your own agenda as a propagandist.
It's not the people being filmed asking him to delete the footage, it's some neighborhood watch guy who asked him to delete. It's not to protect the identiry of the interviewee, it's to prevent foreign spys.
@@underhorse5367 there are many situations where publicity rights do not apply on being publicly filmed but this one actually fits this law, cuz the clip was almost exclusively about this person and whoever was filming is definitely monetised for it currently. Also it actually does not matter if it applies or not bc most ppl are under the impression that it does, hence explaining why they act this way. And morally speaking is it not fair or just to ask for cut or deletion when you don't want to make an appearance on someone else's filming? I think it is
Bro, there are 56 ethnic groups in China, and the Korean ethnic group is one of them. I have a very good friend who is Korean ethnic, but he is Chinese.
@@Ben-.- This is normal. Han culture has a profound influence on neighboring countries, such as South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, etc., not to mention other ethnic groups in China. We do not reject the customs of other ethnic groups. In fact, if you look at the ancient buildings of ethnic minorities in Yunnan, they are also in Han style.The Tibetans in Sichuan and Yunnan have also been assimilated into the Han culture, which is not a problem; they still retain their own ethnic customs and habits.Muslims do not celebrate the Han Chinese New Year, they celebrate their own festivals.
There are cameras almost everywhere in China, not only on the China-North Korea border, but also on the China-Vietnam border, China-Myanmar border, etc. Most Chinese people don't worry about government surveillance at all, because we think it is a kind of protection for the people. Because if a bad guy commits a crime, the police will catch him quickly. This is one of the reasons why the crime rate in China is very low. As we said: when you gain something, it also means you lose something (得失). So we choose to sacrifice privacy in public places while gaining a safe public place. This is also another sense of freedom: one can walk alone late at night without worrying about safety issues, even if you are a lady. This may be the difference between Eastern and Western cultures.
Yeah. Maybe you get the government watch your apartments as well to avoid robbery, theft or sexual harrasment. Europeans are thankfully not stupid enough to sacrifice their freedom for a marginal lower crimerate.
Western countries also have many cameras in public places especially in Western big cities, but most Western people have not noticed yet... For example in London, cameras are also everywhere, just like in Beijing!
The US military on General MacArthur's command bombed parts of Dandong. This was when the Chinese volunteer army moved in. The amazing thing about the Korean war was that the Americans had complete control of the air space because the Chinese didn't have planes at the time! The US also had the support of many allies providing both military and aid support. One would think that the US would have won this battle but it was pushed all the way back to the 28th parallel border, and that concluded the Korean war. Also, the bit when the the South Korean said that parts of Dandong was wierd and a little scary, parts of Seoul and the rest of south Korea looks like that as well lol
@@drewbinsky you are a clown. Do you not understand why they don't want you filming them? And then you act like a victim. You have no respect for these people.
How come Chinese people are frail ? They are all skinny people. You need to eat some proper meat and stop eating noodles 🍜 you guys are about 10 stone.
I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.

The border between China and North Korea is the longest border in North Korea, measuring 1,352 kilometers (or 840 miles) by distance, it follows the rivers of Amnok/Yalu and Tumen rivers.

Hey this is better than not going to DKRP man or better than going depending on how bad it gets. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share your experiences Drew. I just came back from the Philippines and I loved it!
When people say North Korea is the 1980s China, they mean economically and politically. China has politically reformed and is obviously an economic giant today.
@@Squared_Table They are more capitalist these days, for sure, but to say there is no communism in China at all is ridiculous lol. Their president is literally a member of the Communist Party of China. China is an authoritarian dictatorship. I have many friends who have left China to come to America(legally), as well as an aunt who left China and came here, eventually meeting and marrying my uncle... None of them have nice things to say about China's government and how they treat the people.
Drew Waltzes his way in and tries to film and talk to North Koreans on the chi/nkor border than gets suprised when he gets approached by officials….drew is very ignorant
Drew, I am also married to a foreigner and working on getting Mexican citizenship. Could you get your wive's Philippino citizenship to allowed you to enter North Korea again, but with a different passport? Or an investment visa?
I have seen many North Koreans and Burmese trying to cross over the fence between their countries and China just for survival and basic security. God bless them 😢
where did u see “many” of them? Do u live in Dandong or somewhere near it? And for how long. As u can see that is a boarder town with heavy military forces, police and cameras, I doubt u have seen many political refugees crossing boarder. Not saying there aren’t many of them wanting to, just simply don’t think u have seen many.
@@NoComment-hh3rnthey don’t cross over in dandong, if you go up north a little there’s zero guard on the Chinese side, very easy to cross. I say this because my hometown is near there and everybody in the village has seen North Koreans crossing illegally, it’s no big deal, majority of them are not political refugees just people trying to get a better life. Sad thing is lots of the women get human trafficked once they crossed the border by their smugglers.
One thing that would be interesting, but really difficult to do would be hearing from the truck drivers crossing over the river or the train operators. That would be fascinating.
The bridge on which we see trucks from/to the DPRK also has railway tracks. I took a train from Pyongyang to Beijing a few years ago (but I’m not from the USA).
Drew I’m old enough to be your mom. Love your channel because being in the fashion biz in my past traveled all over the world in some strange places. But this particular trip of yours scares me. Especially with everything going on please be careful. We need you🙏
I went to DanDong about 20 years ago, while visiting China. I lived in Taiwan and speak pretty good Chinese, but it was my first trip to the mainland. My overriding memory was how the Chinese side was bustling, especially at night, with bright lights, music, restaurants and families out walking along the promenade. Meanwhile, just across the river, it was deserted. A city, but no lights, no people other than occasional guards. They even had a ferrris wheel though it never moved in the couple of days I was there. Occasionally I would see lights at night, but it was only ever trucks or trains going back or forth. I had previously been to the NK border with South Korea, and that was a very different feeling, as the NK side was trying to put on a show to make things look better, although their "propaganda" village was half-built, stalled thorugh lack of resources and also deserted.
This is not just a travel review channel ...This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 👍🥰🥰
This documentary also cheats you foreigners who don't understand Chinese.Because the North Koreans in the videoAll of them are Koreans living in China.

Just found your channel, but I LOVE your humble down to earth approach with your content and travels! You try to make friends with everyone, which is very adorable and endearing - but don't be afraid to say your objective FIRST and get it out of the way, and THEN go into the pleasantries. It may yield better results and very seldom will anyone find it offensive or rude. Particularly when coming from a foreigner! When was the last time you talked to anyone who was visiting your country and didn't speak the language, and found it rude if they come up and say "help please" or something of the like. Ty for allowing us to get a great feel of what it would be like if someone were to just "go there to see what it's s really like". Is very refreshing to get this perspective, as opposed to the typical tourism approach. Safe travels, and best of luck!
One thing I love about your amazing channel that is you put the amazing effort in it and also your channel has helped me when I want to try start to travel China and North Korea and also other videos I love to meet people and to have souvenirs. I would very much so to meet you some day. Love the effort, your such a amazing person and would love to chat or even meet you one day I have been watching your channel since you first started, and the only travel channel I only go for! You have really really amazing talents about travel tips and how to make vlogs. I have sent you a message. Thank you for what you do!
Dandong city have 2.4 millions population, ethnic Han is 1.53 millions, ethnic Manchu is 816 K, ethnic Mongol is 30 K, ethnic Hui muslim is 17 K, ethnic Korean is only 16 K.
Thanks for the memories... I visited Dandong 10 years ago, sharing your obsession. Great Wall looks fantastic here; I missed that one. A perfect excuse to go back!
Thanks for illuminating this part of the planet for us, Drew. So interesting. In Tangier, Morocco I experienced similar treatment, being totally ignored and never waited on in a restaurant filled with men.
Those cctv cameras are for your safety, China is one of the safest countries in the world with a very low crime rate. All major cities are modern with all the amenities from developed countries
SAFEST COUNTRIES hahahaha. Have you seen the kids being ran over in broad daylight and the military covering it up?

Please distinguish between Chinese Korean people and North Koreans before making such videos, otherwise it could easily mislead the audience.
stop being overdramatic , its a pretty normal border city with many foreign visttors
and u r from America, a country with surveillance cameras everywhere
most Americans are brainwashed to be dramatic? 🤪🤪
🤣🤣🤣作为中国人，我倒是比较理解，因为中国是从这个地方进入朝鲜，而且打的就是美国人和韩国人。而且博主刚好是美国人和韩国人，所以当一个美国人和一个韩国人到了这个地方，是不会正面报道的，
The lady said "They can't understand because they're Chinese"
at around 10:00 minutes, there is no way you convinced a security official that you are not a spy. like someone else had mentioned, this is overly dramatic.
It's so hilariously funny, old Drew kidd, you blurred your (North) Korean Chinese guide's face that you claimed to protect her, but you are fully aware that there are CCTV cameras everywhere!! So???
Well, one big difference is that the CCTV footage isn't going up on TH-cam, while a TH-camr's footage does...
@@ReyOfLightsad that you had to explain that to him 😂
I pray that Donald Trump comes into power. Donald Trump has made us realize the importance of saving in digital currency, which I have already started doing, and I’m always happy about that.
My life has totally changed since I started with $7,000 and now I make $ 29,450 every 11 days.
i'm new to investing, how do i do it?
But then, what do you do? How do you come about that in that period?
Big thanks to Mrs Christian Evelyn Mackie
It is simply the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
I'm Brazilian and can I be honest? I sometimes watch your videos because it's a tangible way of getting to know the world. It's funny that you comment on ''anti-American propaganda'' on the bridge, when you literally went there to make anti-China, anti-Korean propaganda, all of which is allowed, I say, I don't want it to sound like an offense, but when someone tries to explain the context history of somewhere, or even a tip, or even trying to know the history of the place you visit, makes visits richer.
That is not anti-American propaganda. The film on the bridge tells the history of the area and the bridge, the Korean War. Many foreigners have filmed videos there. But this person made up a lot of content for traffic and storytelling. What is even more ridiculous is that North Korea's isolation and poverty are the result of decades of blockade and embargo by the United States using economic and military hegemony. Now an American plays God and comes to the North Korean border to mock this poor country.
@@tiaoyi-bx5yi u r right
@@tiaoyi-bx5yi Yes! These Americans think it's fun to mock others for their buffet? 😛😛👻👻
@@tiaoyi-bx5yi Le système capitaliste est très très mauvais mais c'est parce-que le pays le plus capitaliste au monde ne commerce plus avec la Corée que la Corée est pauvre ?
Donc le capitalisme c'est bien, finalement ?
Amigo, hora alguma ele fez campanha anti Korea ou anti China ele simplesmente narrou os fatos. Os fatos em si são anti comunista.
Friend, I think he didn’t talk against North Korea or china, he just spoke facts, the facts are against communist
People has the right to ask you to delete the footage that take their faces, it is a basic human right in China, called "肖像權" which is protected by the Civil Code of PRC. Don't think everyone are willing to let you film them publicly or secretly, especially you are asking them question that may involve western agenda, I think that may make some Chinese and North Korean working there feel uncomfortable and get them into trouble (just like you say something bad and not anthorized about your company publicly in you name, the company officier may warn you or even fire you).
The broken bridge was destoryed by US bombers during the Korean War, and the US bombers also crossed the border to bomb a lot of places in China. That is why there are sculptures and video telling about the history of Korean War near that river. But you seems to be not interested in that part of history as a visitor, and alwasy try to stick with your own agenda as a propagandist.
肖像权doesn't protect you from being filmed in public, stop pretending you know the law of PRC and gives out wrong legal advice
@@underhorse5367😂why do you think you know China more than the Chinese who lives there
It's not the people being filmed asking him to delete the footage, it's some neighborhood watch guy who asked him to delete. It's not to protect the identiry of the interviewee, it's to prevent foreign spys.
@@underhorse5367 there are many situations where publicity rights do not apply on being publicly filmed but this one actually fits this law, cuz the clip was almost exclusively about this person and whoever was filming is definitely monetised for it currently. Also it actually does not matter if it applies or not bc most ppl are under the impression that it does, hence explaining why they act this way. And morally speaking is it not fair or just to ask for cut or deletion when you don't want to make an appearance on someone else's filming? I think it is
Bro, there are 56 ethnic groups in China, and the Korean ethnic group is one of them. I have a very good friend who is Korean ethnic, but he is Chinese.
Yes
56 ethnic groups but China is very homogenous in general because over 90% of the population is ethnic Chinese (Han).
@@Ben-.- This is normal. Han culture has a profound influence on neighboring countries, such as South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, etc., not to mention other ethnic groups in China. We do not reject the customs of other ethnic groups. In fact, if you look at the ancient buildings of ethnic minorities in Yunnan, they are also in Han style.The Tibetans in Sichuan and Yunnan have also been assimilated into the Han culture, which is not a problem; they still retain their own ethnic customs and habits.Muslims do not celebrate the Han Chinese New Year, they celebrate their own festivals.
@@Ben-.-你没有考虑到人口总数，14亿的百分之十也有1亿多人了
“There are so many CCTVs right here😲"
Blah what you thinking??? This is a border line man
true bruh also some of them just road and speedin cams
This ignorant guy is really as if first time travelling to foreign land. Has no common sense
There are cameras almost everywhere in China, not only on the China-North Korea border, but also on the China-Vietnam border, China-Myanmar border, etc. Most Chinese people don't worry about government surveillance at all, because we think it is a kind of protection for the people. Because if a bad guy commits a crime, the police will catch him quickly. This is one of the reasons why the crime rate in China is very low. As we said: when you gain something, it also means you lose something (得失). So we choose to sacrifice privacy in public places while gaining a safe public place. This is also another sense of freedom: one can walk alone late at night without worrying about safety issues, even if you are a lady. This may be the difference between Eastern and Western cultures.
Yeah. Maybe you get the government watch your apartments as well to avoid robbery, theft or sexual harrasment. Europeans are thankfully not stupid enough to sacrifice their freedom for a marginal lower crimerate.
It’s not a eastern culture thing, it’s a CCP thing
所謂私隱, 自由, 在全世界通行都是一個偽命題, 世上沒絕對自由, 在有其人存在的地方就沒有所謂私隱, 包括在家里室內, 當有其他家庭成員在時, 私隱就破了.
Western countries also have many cameras in public places especially in Western big cities, but most Western people have not noticed yet... For example in London, cameras are also everywhere, just like in Beijing!
Slava TSMC 🇹🇼
The US military on General MacArthur's command bombed parts of Dandong. This was when the Chinese volunteer army moved in. The amazing thing about the Korean war was that the Americans had complete control of the air space because the Chinese didn't have planes at the time! The US also had the support of many allies providing both military and aid support. One would think that the US would have won this battle but it was pushed all the way back to the 28th parallel border, and that concluded the Korean war.
Also, the bit when the the South Korean said that parts of Dandong was wierd and a little scary, parts of Seoul and the rest of south Korea looks like that as well lol
this is really neat to watch that you got to do this thank you for doing this and recording them and uploading them
Hats off to the ppl who watched a 21 min video in 2 mins
lol
Hold Ya FARD 🤯
I can't imagine being one of the last Americans to visit North Korea.
so wild right?
@@drewbinskyyeah wild for sure!
Beaucoup de préjugés anti nord coréens
Not really. But there is some tension because of the recent spying from a couple of North Americans.
@@drewbinsky you are a clown. Do you not understand why they don't want you filming them? And then you act like a victim. You have no respect for these people.
看了这个博主对于中国的视频，我觉得很不友善，如果一直带着你的傲慢与偏见，下次不要来中国了，真的不欢迎
😂😂
How come Chinese people are frail ?
They are all skinny people. You need to eat some proper meat and stop eating noodles 🍜 you guys are about 10 stone.
A Brazilian couple from the channel called so-and-so visited North Korea. They went as tourists, it's worth checking out.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!
That was a really interesting video! Thank you for showing us this city!
I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.

I earn from investing in the digital market with the guidance of (Ms. Evelyn Vera) Brokerage services. I'm happy to talk about it!!!
I remember giving her my first saved up $20000 and she opened a brokerage account with it for me, it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.
The border between China and North Korea is the longest border in North Korea, measuring 1,352 kilometers (or 840 miles) by distance, it follows the rivers of Amnok/Yalu and Tumen rivers.
Indeed
Bro, nobody is watching you😂
People are watching him because he has cameras recording everything. Even in the US, if you have a camera and are recording everything, people are going to watch you because they want to know what you are doing.
@@ocon4064In most cities there is CCTV cameras spying on you, I am from London we are one of the most spied on people in Europe. They are also testing facial recognition.
They are though

One of the most interesting travel channels on youtube
he's legendary. not your normal travel channel.
@@hamzazaman18Drew and Bald and Bankrupt are good
If you like people who blatantly lie that is !!!
He like most americans is trying too hard to make things intense, mysterious, and adds shock value (that is made up points) just for views !!!!
Your fears are based on prejudices. All I see is a highly touristic city.😓
@9:20 The lady said "They're Chinese, doesn't understand you." What an interesting and scary experience this was. Thank you for sharing.
Hey this is better than not going to DKRP man or better than going depending on how bad it gets. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share your experiences Drew. I just came back from the Philippines and I loved it!
Cold noodles looks good thanks for sharing. I’m super curious and this was interesting.
This video is 21 minutes long.... 2mins published and already hundreds of comments saying "nice video"
gotta get them paid comments in
bots maybe?
@@nickgibb4687 Those are bots. Creators can't do nothing about it. It's a big issue at the moment.
ok
@@drewbinskyit could be bots or people just have notifications on
😂 they probably spit in your cold noodles
Do you think they do that with Norwegians too?
6:42 What's so bizarre huh? USA-Mexico border not bizarre? When thousand of illegal immigrant crossing the border.
💯
Lol do you know North Korea is shut off from thebworld and Mexico isn't?
You are so determined to give us good content. God bless you drew
Really good video. Didn't plan on watching whole thing but it went by so fast!👍👌
Being harassed by someone was so dangerous.
You don't have to go beyond your limit just to satisfy your viewers or due to your curiosity.
When people say North Korea is the 1980s China, they mean economically and politically. China has politically reformed and is obviously an economic giant today.
Politically reformed? In what sense?
@@68Bocahere’s a hint. No communism is practiced in China
@@Squared_Table They are more capitalist these days, for sure, but to say there is no communism in China at all is ridiculous lol. Their president is literally a member of the Communist Party of China. China is an authoritarian dictatorship. I have many friends who have left China to come to America(legally), as well as an aunt who left China and came here, eventually meeting and marrying my uncle... None of them have nice things to say about China's government and how they treat the people.
China nowdays is more like large version of singapore. They do not give f to ideologiea
@@68Boca China has mastered capitalism, they’re so good at it the Americans have to sanction China because the Americans cannot compete
Drew Waltzes his way in and tries to film and talk to North Koreans on the chi/nkor border than gets suprised when he gets approached by officials….drew is very ignorant
17:21 “It so boring bc you don’t have WiFi” …that had me rolling
really interesting to see!! putting this on my travel bucketlist... thanks for sharing drew!
You make everything so big and nervous which is not the real situation
"I'm obsessed with north korea". "Get some help"
Drew, I am also married to a foreigner and working on getting Mexican citizenship. Could you get your wive's Philippino citizenship to allowed you to enter North Korea again, but with a different passport? Or an investment visa?
Absolutely fascinating, I love the way you share your travels and the people you meet. We really are all the same 😊 Thank you!
I have seen many North Koreans and Burmese trying to cross over the fence between their countries and China just for survival and basic security. God bless them 😢
😂😂😂😂 another propaganda good job man
@@samorayee420 Believe it or not China is a better place to live than Myanmar under a civil war and freaking North Korea.
@@samorayee420 I’m telling you the truth. What’s wrong with you and your brain?
where did u see “many” of them? Do u live in Dandong or somewhere near it? And for how long. As u can see that is a boarder town with heavy military forces, police and cameras, I doubt u have seen many political refugees crossing boarder. Not saying there aren’t many of them wanting to, just simply don’t think u have seen many.
@@NoComment-hh3rnthey don’t cross over in dandong, if you go up north a little there’s zero guard on the Chinese side, very easy to cross. I say this because my hometown is near there and everybody in the village has seen North Koreans crossing illegally, it’s no big deal, majority of them are not political refugees just people trying to get a better life. Sad thing is lots of the women get human trafficked once they crossed the border by their smugglers.
I love your content Drew! You are one of my inspirations why I started my own youtube channel. Continue to create great videos!
One thing that would be interesting, but really difficult to do would be hearing from the truck drivers crossing over the river or the train operators. That would be fascinating.
The bridge on which we see trucks from/to the DPRK also has railway tracks. I took a train from Pyongyang to Beijing a few years ago (but I’m not from the USA).
Drew I’m old enough to be your mom. Love your channel because being in the fashion biz in my past traveled all over the world in some strange places. But this particular trip of yours scares me. Especially with everything going on please be careful. We need you🙏
Thank you!!
@@drewbinsky ❤
VERY cool video. I love how fascinated you are by it all.
Finally you're able to view North Korean Chinese border👍👍👍. The painting looks beautiful❤❤❤.
Honestly one of the most fascinating videos I've seen in a long time. Great work
Beautiful video drew.
Thanks for sharing!
See you next week 😊
They live a normal life but americans make a big deal, you want to be that PITA all the time
I went to DanDong about 20 years ago, while visiting China. I lived in Taiwan and speak pretty good Chinese, but it was my first trip to the mainland. My overriding memory was how the Chinese side was bustling, especially at night, with bright lights, music, restaurants and families out walking along the promenade. Meanwhile, just across the river, it was deserted. A city, but no lights, no people other than occasional guards. They even had a ferrris wheel though it never moved in the couple of days I was there.
Occasionally I would see lights at night, but it was only ever trucks or trains going back or forth.
I had previously been to the NK border with South Korea, and that was a very different feeling, as the NK side was trying to put on a show to make things look better, although their "propaganda" village was half-built, stalled thorugh lack of resources and also deserted.
Bellissimo documentario, grazie per averlo tradotto anche in italiano!🔝💯🔥😉🙏🇮🇹
Gringos always lying about DPRK
You continue to produce some of the best quality on TH-cam. Absolutely love your work!
Glad you enjoy it!
This is not just a travel review channel ...This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 👍🥰🥰
You go girl.
Amen!
Me too.
Drew's the best.
This documentary also cheats you foreigners who don't understand Chinese.Because the North Koreans in the videoAll of them are Koreans living in China.
Very informative video. Thank you so much 🙏
i always love your videos. keep this up
drew you should visit overseas territories like christmas island and niue even though they arent big tourist places they have wonderful sites the prices might be deadly
probably wallis and futuna too
Some countries would consider Niue to be separate from New Zealand so I second this
@@Solo-vh9fm oh yeah thats true niue is self governing
Just found your channel, but I LOVE your humble down to earth approach with your content and travels!
You try to make friends with everyone, which is very adorable and endearing - but don't be afraid to say your objective FIRST and get it out of the way, and THEN go into the pleasantries.
It may yield better results and very seldom will anyone find it offensive or rude.
Particularly when coming from a foreigner!
When was the last time you talked to anyone who was visiting your country and didn't speak the language, and found it rude if they come up and say "help please" or something of the like.
Ty for allowing us to get a great feel of what it would be like if someone were to just "go there to see what it's s really like".
Is very refreshing to get this perspective, as opposed to the typical tourism approach.
Safe travels, and best of luck!
Just came back from Dandong couple weeks ago 😁 made a dope video too
nice vid btw i just subbed
Loved it Drew!
Nice video.
Are you going to meet Bald in Chongqing? 😅 I just saw his last video and that would be an awesome crossover episode haha
at least bald has done research on history...
I like that English boomer he is a pro pretending to be a noob
Never knew Drew can speak Korean. Really well at that. Bravo Drew!
He really does ESL teaching in the South.
Merci Drew pour ton partage, contenu et vidéo au top 👌🏻🙏🏻
Thoroughly enjoyed this video Drew. Thanks for the upload :)
看到9:00 。毫无疑问这个是恶意宣传视频。老板娘说那些客人听不懂他的话，因为那些客人是中国人。而这个TH-camr就在那里说什么被无视。...你旁边不是有个中国人导游吗？她也不知道？这样刻意的视频有什么意义。
找特么个所谓的女翻译还强行打码然后开口就直接来一句“外国人会被认为是间谍”，这个奇葩的骚操作直接给整个视频顶了基调了，典型的BBC拍摄风格，这类司马欧美博主自己举着个摄像头满大街到处拍甚至还怼到别人脸上拍特写镜头，然后转身就是一套经典双标戏码阴阳怪气中国监控多，尤其是中间那段还鬼扯什么便衣警察跟踪他要求删视频也是经典昂撒白人的极其自恋的骚操作了，简直是辣眼睛
BTW, this is not Chinese flags, it is Soviet union flags 😂
It’s the CCP Flag. Soviet flag has a star on top of hammer and sickle
One thing I love about your amazing channel that is you put the amazing effort in it and also your channel has helped me when I want to try start to travel China and North Korea and also other videos I love to meet people and to have souvenirs. I would very much so to meet you some day. Love the effort, your such a amazing person and would love to chat or even meet you one day I have been watching your channel since you first started, and the only travel channel I only go for! You have really really amazing talents about travel tips and how to make vlogs. I have sent you a message. Thank you for what you do!
Wow. U tube let you speak truth.
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
I too am obsessed with NK and have no idea why. It’s fascinating to me. I love your Videos! Thank you for this one.
Love you Drew thanks for your content
Your weird!!!! Leave them alone.
I watch you with great pleasure. Your videos are a true work of art.🚕🍿😋

Dandong city have 2.4 millions population, ethnic Han is 1.53 millions, ethnic Manchu is 816 K, ethnic Mongol is 30 K, ethnic Hui muslim is 17 K, ethnic Korean is only 16 K.
Thanks for the memories... I visited Dandong 10 years ago, sharing your obsession. Great Wall looks fantastic here; I missed that one. A perfect excuse to go back!
Thanks for illuminating this part of the planet for us, Drew. So interesting. In Tangier, Morocco I experienced similar treatment, being totally ignored and never waited on in a restaurant filled with men.
Nobody ignored him, they told him they don’t speak English so can’t have a conversation, you learn Chinese nobody is ignoring you
Something I’ve always wondered. Something I knew drew would answer. Thank you Drew. 😎
Those cctv cameras are for your safety, China is one of the safest countries in the world with a very low crime rate. All major cities are modern with all the amenities from developed countries
SAFEST COUNTRIES hahahaha. Have you seen the kids being ran over in broad daylight and the military covering it up? How about the woman being hacked to death in broad dayglight while people video-camera'd it? The little girl who was beaten by a gang in mcdonalds while employees recording the entire thing? STOP SUKING UP TO THOSE CHINKS!
Nice video, thank yoy
sick video Drew!!
