Greetings from China. I went to the China-Russia-North Korea border 4 years ago, on the Chinese side the observation tower is a tourist site called Fangchuan(防川). The thing impressed me most is that there are no patrols or fences on the Sino-Russian border. However, even though the border between China and North Korea is separated by a very wide river, there are barbed wire fences three to four meters high with high voltage electricity and lots of cameras on the Chinese side, while the patrolling soldiers on the North Korean side are clearly visible.
@@noahsrebels Yes. There are many escapees from North Korean in border cities of Northeast China (especially in 90s and 00s), most of them just sneak into China to work for a higher salary, and a small number of people want to smuggle into a third country (usually Mongolia or some Southeast Asian countries) through China and then reach South Korea. If these North Korean smugglers are caught by the Chinese police, they will be sent back to North Korea immediately, where they will be shot and hanged...
Every time I think about this place, I consider it as a national humiliation of China. The land belonged to China for thousands of years, however, it was ceded to Russia 160 years ago, resulting in the complete loss of coastline of the sea of Japan and two coast provinces(Heilongjiang and Jilin) becoming landlocked provices.The distance between Fangchuan and the Sea of Japan is only 15 kilometers. Can you believe it? Only 15 kilometers make two big provinces become landlocked!
I’ve looked at this area a number of times and wandered around on street view as much as possible, and it’s certainly fascinating with the three way border. It’s interesting to see it on video. Keep up the interesting videos that you post on this channel.
I explored this Primorsky krai region on google maps a lot, my favorite region of Russia. My other favorites are south ural mountains, Samara region on Volga river, and Krasnodar Krai. Nishny Novgorod is a underrated Russian city in terms of historical architecture as well.
@@lrn_news9171 I thought I was the only one to do that… I’ve ‘visited’ Khasan quite a few times via Streetview and made a deal with myself to actually go there one day.
Very cool. Thanks. Greetings from Slovakia. On border with Slovakia, Czech and Poland is table that is in shape of a triangle, so every country has it 1/3 of table :D
I love traveling to Chech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. Some of the best places in Europe for sure. Very friendly people, lots of old castles, buildings and villages that are still in good condition and good cheap flights and trains everywhere. And if you know some Czech words and phrases, you understand some Slovakian too and can easily make orders on restaurants to get food. :)
@@GHFear totally agree. Beautiful nature and buildings with fair prices and good public transport. I visited Prague, Czech Republic, a week ago for very few money and I felt like home.

That was interesting. Reminds me of a video I saw years ago about these journalists who were looking into North Korean logging camps in Russia. My memory of it is hazy but they came across a lone, bedraggled Korean logging. They got him to talk by giving him a cig and beer. He basically said he worked all day, every day, and sent money back to his family. He looked uneasy. I hope he didn’t get in trouble for that. It’s amazing to see how low key the Russian side of the border is at least.
Greeting from China. Nice video, it's great to see how it looks like from Russia side of border. Actually, right on the road that connects the observation tower in video you can see 3 countries more detailed. The road is Chinese territory, and two sides of the road belongs to Russia and North Korea. You can see it on map, right at the same spot on the map you showed in video, you will see at chineseside, there is a G302 National Way. There are pictures about this road.
Nice video. I have crossed DPRK from Russia via train over that bridge with the fence, which the border guards openened during the crossing. The train was loaded with North-Korean workers, which we could talk freely to while in Russia (a chance you never get while in DPRK).. This was de most interesting border experience of my life. Also it's interesting to know that lot's of cars in that area of Russia have the steering wheel on the right because they imported all these cars from Japan, when they drive on the other side.
@eustab.anas-mann9510 it was a Dutch travel agency which i believe to have stopped. But if DPRK is open again there will be some operators with a entry via Russia.
In 2007 I went to this 3 countries border on the Chinese side. It was possible to go as far as the viewing pagoda but not right to that building at the end.

Greetings from Canada. I feel the Russia/china border where you were is like the Canada/USA border in most parts, both countries ppl live close to it yet don’t cross it. (Except DPRK of course)
@@yasminlunar The border between Canada and the US is the longest undefended border in the world. With the exception of a few border checkpoints, Canadians and Americans can cross the border by simply walking to the other side as there is no fence separating the two. The border is usually only marked by a stone or a clearings cut in the trees/vegetation.
@@Rayden440 A few border checkpoints??? You're obviously NOT Canadian or American. There are HUNDREDS OF CHECKPOINTS. And NO, you cannot just cross the border.

it looks like those abandoned homes and buildings with "new"ish math books and chinese photo albums, i feel like those are places where north koreans may have stayed while escaping from NK. maybe the smugglers would hold their group of nk defectors, since the doors look new and there are satelite dishes. i think the children's books were probably to keeps the children busy and quiet during day hours. i remember hearing about that area was a popular escape route, but something happened and made it more difficult (maybe land mines) in around 2016-17.

As I travelled in North Korea 2018 I saw Khasan from the other side quid cool so see it now from the russian side.
What’s it like in nk? Was it scary?
Amazing, with a lovely ending!
The squad of soldiers hiding in the bushes arrests you the second you cross the marker
China as well as North Korea are both very beautify countries, sadly people claiming ownership of it have the power to ruin it all :(

That´s something remember from my trips to Eastern Europe, clapping when the plane lands.
Good job! Well done!
Clapping for a successful landing, now that's something I haven't experienced for a long time
So the clapping on a successful landing is because that is quite a rare event?
Joking aside, this video was fascinating and I'm looking forward to your follow-up video on the surrounding area. I myself have lived many years on the border between Hong Kong and Mainland China.
I wasn't sure whether tradition to clap hands after landing is widespread outside Russia, therefore I saved this footage and explained.
@@ivantrainsLIVE As far as I know from my personal experience this isn’t common in other countries during normal conditions but I’m sure people will be more likely to show appreciation and relief after landings in difficult weather conditions.
For me personally, I’m not a good flyer and always feel relief after each takeoff and landing, even in good conditions. But I try not to show this as I don’t want others to know how silly I am.
It doesn't happen all the time in Russia, too. Of course, when landing conditions are difficult it is more likely to see this kind of appreciation.
@@ivantrainsLIVE Я из Словакии, и люди, которые не часто летают и, например, летят чартерным рейсом в отпуск, хлопают после приземления. Но други смеются над хлопаним и считают это глупым😂
it looks like those abandoned homes and buildings with "new"ish math books and chinese photo albums, i feel like those are places where north koreans may have stayed while escaping from NK. maybe the smugglers would hold their group of nk defectors, since the doors look new and there are satelite dishes. i think the children's books were probably to keeps the children busy and quiet during day hours.
i remember hearing about that area was a popular escape route, but something happened and made it more difficult (maybe land mines) in around 2016-17.
4:00 Dude you're literally on the edge of the world :)
Cool Video Dude!
