Bartering near the Yalu River

Residents of the North Korean city of Sinuiju, which is located across the Yalu River from Dandong in China`s Liaoning Province, are aboard a ship near Wihwa Island headed for Guri Island in the middle of the river. They will barter food and clothes they brought from China and return to North Korea. Soldiers row the ship to carry the people.
