Kim Il Sung remains the "number 1"! Samjiyon North Korea

Samjiyŏn, or Samjiyŏn-kun, is a district in Ryanggang province, North Korea. It has its own airport, not very busy as you need to charter a plane to go there!.

t takes its name from three lakes in the county, which are known as the Samjiyŏn. Samjiyon is situated near Mount Paektu, the most famous one in North Korea. There was too many snow, so i could not go on the top...

Many houses and buildings in Samjiyon have been recently upgraded, and the place looks like a ski resort! You can ski there in winter time.

The visit of the place starts by the giant statue of Kim Jong Il. Of course!
