What People Eat for Breakfast on the China–North Korea Border

This episode was filmed in Yanji, a Chinese city where the border is part of everyday life.
Just across the river lies North Korea, and for generations, people here have shared food traditions shaped by Korean culture.

At dawn, the city wakes up at its morning market — where breakfast isn’t made for visitors, but for locals starting their day.
What you’ll see here is not a performance, but a routine shaped by geography, culture, and habit.
