BEIJING - NORTH Korea is restricting visitors from its ally and giant neighbour China, travel agents said on Thursday, including virtually closing off one of its main border crossings at Dandong.
North Korea lashed out at South Korea on Wednesday and said it would close its southern land border from next month, largely putting a stop to the few exchanges that exist between the states divided since the Cold War.
The move follows growing anger in Pyongyang at the hard-line approach of the South's conservative government, which said it was cutting what once had been a steady flow of unconditional aid and instead would tie handouts to progress Pyongyang makes in ending its nuclear arms programme.
Travel agents in China, who send a steady though small flow of tourists to impoverished and isolated North Korea, said they were still organising visits, though trips had to be made via air rather than by rail.
'The border has been closed since October. If you want to go to North Korea, you have to go to Shenyang and fly from there to North Korea,' said one travel agent in Dandong, referring to a northeastern Chinese city.
A Chinese rail official in Dandong said freight trains were still able to cross over into North Korea.
'There are four trains a week to North Korea. One train just left for there, though I don't know if there are any passengers on it. I think most of the trains are freight trains,' the official said by telephone.
China's relations with North Korea have long been characterised as being 'as close as lips and teeth' after they fought side-by-side during the 1950-53 Korean War.
China has been building a fence along the once relatively lightly guarded border since 2006, when North Korea tested a nuclear device.
And the Financial Times cited US official as saying that China had recently boosted troop numbers at the North Korean border.
China is a major aid donor to a country whose economy has shrunk drastically in recent years and which has great difficulty feeding its people, but bilateral ties soured after North Korea's nuclear test two years ago. -- REUTERS

周四来自旅行社的消息称朝鲜正对其盟友、庞大的邻国中国的游客作出限制，包括关闭了丹东的一个主要边境口岸。
周三朝鲜猛批韩国并表示从下月起将关闭其南部陆地边界，给自冷战两国分裂以来为数不多的交流画上了一个大大的句号。
朝鲜表示此举源自对韩国保守派政府强硬政策的愤怒。韩国方面意欲停止一直以来稳定的非传统援助借此给平壤方面施加压力令其停止核军备方案。
中国的旅行社一直组织规模虽小却稳定的旅游客源前往贫穷孤立的朝鲜，表示说仍将组织旅游团，但出行方式不得不从火车改为飞机。
中国东北部城市丹东的一家旅行社表示“十月以来边境已经被关闭，如果想去朝鲜，得先去沈阳然后乘飞机”。
丹东的一位铁路官员表示货运列车仍被允许穿过边境抵达朝鲜。
这位官员在电话中说：“每周有四列火车前往朝鲜。刚刚开过去一列，不过不清楚上面是否有旅客。我想大多数火车都是货运列车”。
中国与朝鲜的关系在肩并肩共同经历了1950-1953的朝鲜战争之后长期被描述为“唇齿相依”。
2006年朝鲜试验了核装置之后中国在过去安全防卫相对宽松的边境修建了防护墙。
《金融时报》源引美国官员的说法称中国最近向朝鲜边境加派了军队人数。
对朝鲜这个近年来经济急剧萎缩连养活老百姓都困难的国家来说中国是一个重要的援助国，但自两年前朝鲜核试验以来两国关系趋向紧张。
