Creator's Key Takeaways

I arrived in Beijing Capital Airport to meet up with Song and her brother who had already been in China for 2 or 3 weeks.

Dandong is called by some the most dangerous city in China. Why, you might ask? Because it shares the border with North Korea.

The food was visually appealing and tasted very good.

I, for one, certainly enjoyed our time in Dandong.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take big steps when crossing water hazards on the mountain trail.
Do not sit on railings for safety reasons.

YouTube Video Description

One of the highlights of a recent trip to China was a three-day side trip to Dandong. Dandong is on the border with North Korea and is sometimes called the "Most Dangerous City in China" because of its proximity to and connection with the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea." It is not! It is a city with a unique location, history, and connection with the isolated and insulated country of North Korea. Mere villiage by China standards with a population of "ONLY" 2.3 million people, is is a vibrant and interesting city in it's own right. In this video we will also challenge Phoenix Mountain.... Spoiler alert, the mountain almost won! And Stay Tuned for More of our China trip coming soon! Thanks for watching!
