Uiju Airfield, located just across the Yalu River in North Korea, is a military airbase that can sometimes be seen from Dandong. While not a formal tourist attraction, it draws curious visitors who peer across the border to spot aircraft or activity. The airfield's proximity to the river makes it a point of interest for those exploring the Dandong riverfront, especially with binoculars. Its visibility underscores the tense yet fascinating proximity between China and North Korea.
