Pyongyang Travel Guide

Pyongyang is the capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea as well as its political, economic, and cultural center. In ancient times, the city was known as “Ryugyong” (literally: “Capital City of Willow Trees”). Pyongyang is located in the northwest of the Korean peninsula and is known for its flat topography. Pyongyang is a famous tourist destination. The city has preserved its Goguryeo Old City and historic sites such as Anhak Palace and Kwangbop Temple. The Sino-Korean Friendship Tower is a location that Chinese tourists regularly visit. It is where the names of martyrs from the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army who died in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea are recorded.

#wecreate It is not possible to visit North Korea for now but hopefully it will be possible soon in the future. To visit North Korea, it is not that easy but not too difficult as well. however you cannot visit there alone. It is necessary to go with a tour/follow a tour guide. However, everything is very well organised, from accommodation to food, and even transportation. Therefore, there is nothing much to worry

#wecreate North Korea, a country which is a mystery to many people. Not many people step into this country, I was fortunate enough to visit it. Surprisingly, in North Korea, there are many statues around and they are all of very high quality. They even make statues for other countries. if you are art lover, I believe you would be very interested to see such detailed art work.

In an era of deepening globalization, there are still some relatively closed countries, such as "North Korea". In our inherent understanding, North Korea is synonymous with backwardness and isolation. Whenever we mention them, we will think of China before the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, China's environment was also very closed, which was caused by the blockade of Western countries and our country's helplessness to protect itself. During the few days I spent traveling in North Korea, my impression of this country was still very good. It really resembled China in the 1970s and 1980s. The tour guide spoke very good Chinese, and the female tour guide was also very beautiful, introducing us to many local specialties. The real North Korea is different from what I imagined. What I saw and heard left a deep impression on me and a long aftertaste. The China-North Korea Friendship Tower, where everyone spontaneously laid flowers. The Pyongyang Metro, which is 100 meters deep and has a very long elevator tunnel. When you reach the waiting platform below, it is a spacious place with murals on the walls and chandeliers on the ceiling, similar to the architectural style of the Soviet Union. The Pyongyang Children's Palace, where I saw many children studying, and everyone brought books and toys to give to the children. There is also a new rural area similar to those in China. After visiting the households, there is a model house and a demonstration village. There is also a triumphal arch here. One travelogue cannot fully express my feelings, please see the follow-up.
