A city of 2.4 million, Dandong is small by Chinese standards. The city center isn't much to look at, but Dandong is far from being a major hub for tourism. Foreigners get many curious looks from locals – much more than in international cities like Beijing. A basic knowledge of Mandarin, or a great pocket translation guide, is necessary for a rewarding trip here. [Chris Higginbotham/China.org.cn]
