The company "Russian Railways" (RZD) is resuming passenger transportation from Primorye to North Korea and China. This was announced by the head of the Far Eastern Regional Service for the Development of Passenger Communications and Providing Access to the Infrastructure of Russian Railways, Sergey Fomichev, within the framework of the III All-Russian Tourist Forum.
The borders with North Korea and China were previously closed due to the pandemic. Now they are planned to be opened to create a tourist flow.
From December 15, we are starting to work from Suifenhe (China) to Grodekovo (Primorsky Krai) by train of Chinese railways. And also from December 15, we are starting to work with Korean roads on the Khasan-Tumangan section, three times a week.
It is worth noting that in August of this year, the first tourist train "Chanluyhao" was launched. The train runs along the Tumen River through the territory of China. In the future, the route will be laid to Moscow and Vladivostok.
