About Kaesong

Kaesong is a historic North Korean city near the DMZ, famous for its UNESCO-listed heritage and quiet atmosphere. For digital nomads, it’s **not a practical base**: internet access is extremely limited, travel is heavily restricted, and international services are scarce. 🏯🚫🌐 Best suited for cultural interest, not remote work.
