A China-Russia-North Korea visa free tourist program was formally put in place on April 26. A pilot tour group of 21 people started a trip from Changchun, the capital of China’s Jilin Province, traveled through Huichun City in Jilin, Russia’s Slavyanka, Vladivostok and Khasan, and North Korea’s Hancha and Nasŏn, and finally returned to Huichun. With the visa application waived, one can tour these three bordering North East Asian countries within four days.
