As you approach the museum, you'll see a small sign to Yibukua(one step cross) leading you off the wall to a trail along the cliffside. Alternately, you can go down to the museum and get a boat down. I've heard the museum is boring, so we went the other way, enjoying a short hike before we got to Yibukua, marked with a big stone. There were some binoculars set up for tourists, aimed at a North Korean sentry post in the distance with a young bored-looking guard sitting on top. Despite the many tourists, none seemed willing to cross the river, which was very high at this time of year(we went in mid-July). None except for me, of course...read the travelogue for full details.

Hushan changcheng(Tiger mountain great wall) is the eastern end of the Ming Dynasty extension to the Great Wall. It has been reconstructed in recent years as a tourist spot, and as such, lacks the charm of other areas of the Great Wall like at Jinshanling. There are lots of tourists here despite its far-off location, but who will be brave(and stupid) enough to make the North Korean border crossing?

At Tiger Mountain, north of Dandong, you can climb a reconstructed section of the Great Wall and also step into North Korea over a narrow stream that serves as the border.
It's best to go during the coldest winter months when the tributary is frozen and you can slide back and forth between China and North Korea.
