About This Seaport
Trade between China and North Korea moving through the Dandong border crossing reached 8.71 billion yuan (about $1.28 billion) in the first five months of 2026, up 17.6 per cent year on year, building on a 25 per cent jump to $2.73 billion for full-year 2025. The port (UN/LOCODE CN DDZ) at the mouth of the Yalu River remains China's principal gateway for trade with its neighbour, split between the Langtou river harbour and the Dadong sea port. Truck traffic across the Dandong-Sinuiju crossing has surged in 2026 following a summit between the two countries' leaders, with dozens of vehicles queuing daily. Typical cargoes include steel, coal, grain and fertiliser moving into North Korea, and minerals, agricultural and industrial goods moving out. China is also building a new Dandong-Dalian logistics link, with a North Korean border terminal potentially operational by the end of 2026. Road and rail connect the port to Liaoning province; for larger container volumes and deep-sea services, nearby Dalian remains the practical alternative.
