Morning swim across the river to North Korea from China. Apparently it is not against the law, as long as they stay in water when they are at the North Korean side. But this is because they are not afraid of the chinese running over to North Korea. Obviously, the North Koreans can't engage in this sport then

Yalu River Broken Bridge - this is the original bridge that linked North China to China. However, it was blown up by the US military forces during the Korean War. Eventually, the China side of the bridge was rebuilt, but the North Korean side was purposely left destroyed as a reminder of the war, I suppose.
