Rason Special Economic Zone is located in the far Northeast of North Korea, bordering China and Russia. It’s modelled after the old special economic zones of China to promote trade, business, and foreign investment (read more about Rason here).

Because Rason has different rules than the rest of North Korea, foreigners are treated more like visitors than tourists and see a completely different side of North Korea than you’ll find anywhere else. Here are some of our favourite photos from this fascinating place.
