Pyongyang literally: "Flat Land" or "Peaceful Land", is the capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ( North Korea) and the largest city in the country

 

平壤(朝鲜语:평양직할시),是朝鲜民主主义人民共和国的首都和最大城市,位于朝鲜半岛西北部,大同江横跨市区,东侧是平安南道的大同郡、桧仓郡及南浦特别市的大安郡及龙冈郡、南侧是黄海北道的黄州郡、延山郡及松林市、北侧是平安南道的成川郡及平城市。

 

平壤位于朝鲜半岛西北部地势低洼的地段,因地势平坦而得名“平壤”。城市西北部是低矮的山岭,东部是丘陵和的平原。大同江和它的支流普通江流经市中心。

 

因古时遍布柳树平壤又称“柳京”。平壤是传说中朝鲜民族的始祖檀君在前1122年建都的王俭城所在地,为朝鲜半岛历史最悠久的城市,有乙密台、练光亭、大同门、普通门等年代久远的古迹。20世纪70、80年代,平壤进行了大规模的城市建设,兴建了主体思想塔、人民大学习堂、五一体育场、平壤凯旋门等地标性建筑。

In September 2016 I visited North Korea (or Democratic People's Republic of Korea as locals call it).
