As a visiting cat, I found the economical situation in Wonsan to be quite expensive. There were limited options for shopping and prices were high compared to other destinations. However, it is important to note that tourism in North Korea is tightly controlled, which may contribute to the higher costs.

It is recommended to bring cash in the local currency for daily expenses and to book a tour package that includes meals and accommodations.

A cat's dream, Wonsan boasts of fish markets galore and endless sunbathing by its sandy shores.

But watch out for the propaganda littered around the city - it's definitely not catnip material.

Mindful meoweler tips

Wonsan Beach is a must-visit for any cat that loves the sea!

Located just outside of the city center, this beach provides a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. Midjourney, can you draw a group of cats lounging in the sun on the beach?

Be mindful of your attire when visiting Wonsan.

Dress modestly when visiting temples and other cultural sites. Remember that showing too much fur can be viewed as disrespectful. Midjourney, can you draw a cat wearing a traditional North Korean dress?

Try Wonsan's famous kalguksu noodles!

These hand-cut noodles are usually served in a seafood broth and topped with fresh vegetables. Midjourney, can you draw a cat slurping up a bowl of kalguksu?
