The Juche Tower is a monument in Pyongyang, North Korea. The tower is named after the principle of Juche, developed by Kim Il Sung as a blend of autarky, self-reliance, nationalism, isolationism, Korean traditionalism, and Marxism-Leninism.

The skyline of Pyongyang with the smoke filled air lit by a low sun. The twin towers building in the left part of the photo is the Koryo Hotel. On each of the towers is a revolving restaurant. However, during our visit, only one of the two was accessible while the other was closed to prevent catching glimpses of areas not meant for western eyes (was the rumor we heard).
