Pyongyang, DPRK.

 

Some of the most impressive residential buildings can be found on Reunification Avenue, where this picture was taken. It is said that residents prefer lower floors, as access is easier when power goes out...

Pyongyang looks like a modern city from a distance only. On closer inspection, visitors will notice how shoddy and run-down most buildings are. Except for ridiculously wide avenues, there is hardly any urban infrastructure. Blocks just rise from the mud, surrounded by small garden plots and shabby makeshift huts.

Impossible to have a night tour! I asked 250 times...Not possible, so this pix has been taken thru the car. The statues are lighten during festive times. The Mansudae Grand Monument was erected in April, 1972 to commemorate the 60th birthday of President Kim Il Sung. It is located on Mansu Hill in front of the Korean Revolutionary Museum and the huge mosaic of Mt. Paektu.

The bronze statue of the late President Kim is 66 ft. / 20 m. high and looks out over Pyongyang below. On either side of his statue are giant stone replicas of the Korean flag and the Workers Party of Korea flag. On either side of these flags are over 200 almost life-size bronze statues of various military and civilian figures in heroic poses.

The Pyongyang Underground is subject to the ridiculous secretiveness of the N. Korean regime. It does not show up in Pyongyang maps. Foreigners are not allowed to use the underground – they are denied entrance by the omni-present watchdogs. Sometimes, tourists are invited to take a mock ride. They probably don't realize that it is always the same two model stations they get to see.

Taking the bus seemed to be a very popular mode of transport for the residents of Pyongyang. Often, you could see long lines for the buses which were then jam-packed with people.
