FAQ

Where is the best photo spot for the "Neon Wall"?

Opposite Yanbian University. Go after 7 PM when the lights are on. Tip: stand across the street and use a zoom lens for better compression.

Do I need a reservation for the Ethnic Village?

Booking tickets in advance is recommended. If you plan for a photo shoot, book your makeup and costume shop 1-2 hours early to avoid the 10 AM rush.
