As for food, Dandong's cuisine has a strong Korean influence.

Near the river, just across from the train station, there is a street that starts and ends with Korean arches. It hosts a number of traditional Korean restaurants and shops, including proper "sit cross-legged while you eat" low tables.

Cold noodles are very famous there.

Seafood restaurants can also be found along the riverfront, including Korean ones.

The prices, however, are not low, but the fare is better than that found in DPRK.

You can also enjoy the singing and dancing done by waitresses during the meal.
