\"MAP_r_HyesanX260\"A Chinese staff member of the ASIAPRESS North Korea Reporting Team recently traveled to the upstream area of the Amrok-gang (Yalu River), near Ershiyidaogou in China's Changbai Korean Autonomous County of Jilin Province, which shares a border with North Korea. The area is located in an area of the Amrok-gang where the river becomes narrower. On the opposite side of the river is a collection of mountainous villages lying on the outskirts of Hyesan, Ryangang Province.<\/span><\/p>\n
