❤Recommendation reason:
Pyongyang·Pyongyang Municipality - the capital of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, is located in the northwest of the Korean Peninsula and is named for its flat terrain. It is also a mysterious country~ You can only travel with a group (no need to make a guide, just follow it), only take pictures of what you can (📱 for 📷), the North Korean tour guide will accompany you throughout the trip and explain. Do not leave the team at will, and don't be too curious. [Grin]
🌟Highlights:
🌈 Kim Il Sung Square - This is the central square of Pyongyang. It is also the place where North Korea holds important rallies, celebrations and military parades (equivalent to the importance of our Tiananmen Square!), and it is also a must-visit spot for tourists✅!
🌈 Juche Tower - built to commemorate Kim Il Sung's creation of Juche ideology. The tower is 170 meters high and consists of a main tower, an auxiliary tower, a torch stand and other parts. Visitors can reach the observation deck and overlook the entire Pyongyang city and take in the entire city scenery of Pyongyang! ✅
🌈 Fatherland Liberation War Victory Memorial Hall - located at the intersection of Innovation Street and Hero Street in the center of Pyongyang, about 6 kilometers from Kim Il Sung Square. Relevant pictures and physical exhibits of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's entry into the Korean War were displayed, including photocopies of orders issued by Chairman Mao, battlefield photos of Commander Peng and Chairman Kim Il Sung, etc. 👍
🌈 Friendship Tower - a memorial tower on the northwest side of Moran Peak in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. It was built on October 25, 1959 to commemorate the great achievements of the 🇨🇳Chinese People's Volunteer Army in the Korean War! ✅
🌈May 1st Stadium——can be regarded as the largest stadium in the world! It can accommodate 150,000 people and has 80 entrances and exits! [Awesome]
⚠️Note tips⚠️:
1⃣️Try not to discuss politically sensitive topics. Do not discuss North Korea’s politics, economy or leaders. Avoid using "South Korea" and use "South Korea" instead.
2⃣️When visiting the bronze statues and portraits of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, you must remain serious, do not imitate the leaders' postures for photos, and remain solemn when presenting flowers.
