THE LONGEST NONSTOP RAILWAY ROUTE IN THE WORLD HAS RESUMED SERVICE
Did you know what the longest nonstop railway route in the world is? It's between Pyongyang and Moscow. The distance spans over 10,000 km, with a travel time of 8 days. In 2020, this route was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a decision has now been made to resume service. On June 17, 2025, the first nonstop carriage in 5 years will depart from Pyongyang to Moscow.



From Moscow the train will operate on the 12th and 26th of each month, arriving in Pyongyang on the 20th and 4th, respectively. Passenger transportation will be carried out in carriages operated by the DPRK railways.

Additionally, train service between Beijing and Ulaanbaatar resumed in early June 2025, after being halted in 2020 due to the pandemic.

At the end of May 2025, a new railway station building was opened in Tumangang, located in the Rason Special Economic Zone. Tumangang is a small North Korean settlement situated near the borders of China and Russia. For comparison, here is a photo of the old station, taken in 2018.
Tumangang is connected to Russia by rail, and as of today, it is the only type of land transportation between the two countries—until the construction of a road bridge, which is scheduled to open in June 2026.

The Monument to the Workers' Party of Korea is located 2,160 meters from the bronze statues on Mansu Hill. The number 2,160 symbolizes February 16, the birthday of leader Kim Jong Il. Previously, the Party Monument was clearly visible from Mansu Hill, but now the view is obstructed by a new modern hospital consisting of two buildings. It is preparing to open in the near future.
