North Korea City Walk, Pyongyang's shocking buildings revealed

✨North Korea, a mysterious country with a population of more than 26 million and adjacent to China, Russia and South Korea, is really special😎. It is a country where every citizen is a soldier. It has about 1.2 million soldiers, making it the fifth country with the largest number of armed forces in the world👮‍♂️. 💸Although North Korea's economy is mainly based on agriculture and is not very developed, it implements free housing, free education, and free medical care, which is so enviable😍. It deserves to be called one of the countries with the highest happiness index in the world🥰. 🌳The capital Pyongyang is even more stunning, with 80% of the city area being parkland, making it one of the most green cities in the world🌿. 🌆The Juche Tower is located on the banks of the Taedong River in the city center. It was built to celebrate the leader’s 70th birthday and symbolizes the "Juche Idea". It is really meaningful👏. 🌃The view of Taedong River, the night view of Juche Tower, and the night view of Pyongyang Railway Station. Pyongyang is short of electricity, and there are very few buildings with lights on at night, which is a different scene😏. 😮The world's largest unfinished building, the Ryugyong Hotel, is also the world's largest pyramid-shaped building. It was designed by a French company, has 105 floors and is 330 meters high. It includes 3,000 rooms, 7 revolving restaurants, and a total area of ​​360,000 square meters. Construction began in 1987 and went through many twists and turns. It was finally lit in December 2016. Isn't it amazing😜. 🌈Looking at the Juche Tower from the other side of the Taedong River, the morning sun is bright, it is really beautiful😍. 🏛️The Arc de Triomphe is 60 meters high and 52.5 meters wide. It is built with more than 10,500 pieces of granite. It is so magnificent that it amazes people😲. 💗The Sino-Korean Friendship Tower is built with 1,025 pieces of granite and marble, symbolizing the Chinese People's Volunteers' march to Korea on October 25, 1950. The relief depicts the Sino-Korean friendship and the heroic spirit of the Volunteer Army. On the marble table is a box with a list of martyrs. There are only a few flowers, which are basically donated by Chinese tourists. It is really touching😢.
