The direction they probably don't want you to look: factories belch out smoke over the western suburbs of Pyongyang.

Dit punt - gebouw is een hotel in wording ... reeds jaren wordt eraan gewerkt! Sinds 1987. Wegens financiële problemen geraakt het gebouw niet afgewerkt. Er zijn 105 verdiepingen. Hoogte 330 meter.

 

After 16 years the construction of the Ryugyong Hotel.

The 330 Meter high building has 105 floors and is supposed to be a hotel. Construction started in 1987, but was stopped in 1992 due to financial problems. Now it seems, like the construction works on Ryugyong Hotel continue. The Egyptian Orascom group is working on the project.

Pyongyang, DPRK.

 

Access to apartment buildings is always from the back side of the buildings , back streets, or courtyards. Residents gather in the evenings, while children enjoy the dilapidated but omnipresent playgrounds.

The view of Pyongyang from the Juche Tower. These buildings comprise the Mansudae Apartment Complex, a brand new residential compound which features in a lot of the current DPRK news and propaganda - amazing that a single property development can be so important.
