최근 조성된 화려한 여명거리와 영생탑을 지나 인민 문화예술 공연장 4.25 문화회관, 세련된 원통형 아파트가 돋보이는 광복거리, 그리고 북한 최고높이의 마천루 류경호텔에 이르기까지 거리에서 눈을 사로잡는 것은 압도적인 규모의 건축물들이다. 18년 전인 2000년, 생방송 ‘백두에서 한라까지’를 진행하며 평양에 한 차례 와 본 전인석 아나운서. “18년 전 그때하고 또 많이 달라졌네요. 물론 이 개선문은 똑같지만 주변 분위기라든가 사람들 분위기가 10년에 강산이 한 번 변한다면, 두 번 변한 시간이 흘렀는데 여기는 한 세 번, 네 번 변한 듯한 느낌?” 60m 높이로 세계에서 제일 크다는고 북측이 자랑하는 개선문. 안내원이 그 내력과 의미를 열정적으로 해설해 준다. “북과 남, 남과 북의 체육인들이 민족적인 슬기를 세계만방에 떨쳐갈 것입니다. 강연을 마치겠습니다”

From the recently-built gorgeous Myeongdong Street and the Yeongsung Tower to the 4.25 Cultural Center of the People's Culture and Arts Hall, the Gwangbok Street with its sophisticated cylindrical apartments, and the skyscraper Ryukyou Hotel, the tallest skyscraper in North Korea, admit. 18 years ago, in 2000, a live broadcast From Baekdu to Halla and once in Pyongyang, I saw Jeonin stadium announcer. It was 18 years ago and it has changed a lot. Of course, this Arc de Triomphe is exactly the same, but if the surrounding atmosphere or the people's atmosphere changes once in 10 years, it seems that the time has changed twice and has changed three times or four times. 60 meters high is the world's largest This proud triumphal arch. The guide gives a passionate account of its history and meaning. The athletes of North and South, South and North will shake their ethnic wisdom into the world. I will finish the lecture.

A Tour of North Korean Architecture in Pyongyang
The architecture of Pyongyang is one of the DPRK's highlights.
In any socialist regime, architecture plays a key part in the process of building up a new social and political environment following revolutionary events. The total destruction of Pyongyang during the Korean War gave Korean architects and construction workers a clean slate from which to build a perfect socialist capital anew, and they seized upon that opportunity with relish.

The Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang (Korean: 개선문) was built to commemorate the Korean resistance to Japan from 1925 to 1945.
Built in 1982 on the Triumph Return Square at the foot of Moran Hill (모란봉) in the North Korean capital city of Pyongyang, the monument was built to honour and glorify President Kim Il-sung's role in the military resistance against Japanese rule. Inaugurated on the occasion of his 70th birthday, each of its 25,500 blocks of finely-dressed white granite represents a day of his life up to that point.[1]
The structure is modelled after the Arc de Triomphe and is slightly larger than the one in Paris. It is the world's tallest triumphal arch, standing 60 metres (197 ft) high and 50 m (164 ft) wide.[2] The arch has dozens of rooms, balustrades, observation platforms and elevators. It also has four vaulted gateways, each 27 m (89 ft) high, decorated with azalea carved in their girth. Inscribed in the arch is the Song of General Kim Il-sung, a revolutionary hymn, the year 1925, when North Korean history states that Kim set out on the journey for national liberation.

Pyongyang Arch of Reunification North Korea April 2012
A 2 minute view of the Arch of Reunification, a sculptural arch located in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. It was constructed in 2001 to commemorate Korean reunification proposals put forward by Kim Il-sung. The concrete arch straddles the multi-laned Reunification Highway leading from Pyongyang to the DMZ. It consists of two Korean women in traditional dress (choson-ot)—symbolizing the North and South, leaning forward to jointly uphold a sphere bearing a map of a reunified Korea. The plinth of the structure is engraved with messages of support for re-unification and peace from various individuals, organizations and nations.

There are no traffic lights in Pyongyang. The intersections are instead guarded by traffic officers - who usually come in the shape of a woman with robotic movements.
The Tower of the Juche Idea which is all of 150 m tall, is surmounted by a torch (another 20 m high), and is surrounded by about seven group sculptures signifying the progress of communism. 70 steps- the number of years Kim Il-Sung had lived till the building of the monument- lead up to the tower, and it is covered with 25,500 granite tiles- the number of days he had lived.
A North Korean equivalent of Paris's famous monument, the Arch of Triumph, like the Tower of the Juche Idea, was also constructed in 1982, on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Kim Il-Sung. The Arch marks Kim Il-Sung's `victory' over the anti-communist forces and is in commemoration of the leader's return to Pyongyang after rescuing the Fatherland from foreign forces. The Arch is made totally of granite- more than 15,000 individual pieces- and towers to a height of 60 m, the biggest victory arch in the world. .
Mansu Hill stands in the centre of Pyongyang, and has two of Pyongyang's important tourist sights: the Chollima Statue, an imposing bronze statue of a winged horse- a Pegasus- representing the progressive spirit of North Korea, and the Grand Monument. The latter includes a bronze statue of Kim Il-Sung that is much revered by the local populace. Round about are more monuments and museums, including the Korean Revolution Museum, all of them dedicated to the Communist regime in the DPRK, and the glorification of Kim Il-Sung.
Monument to the Korean Workers Party: along with the traditional Communist hammer and sickle there is also a brush which is used for writing. The brush shows the importance of education to the Korean people. This is a unique monument that can only be seen in the DPRK.
Kim Il-sung Square is the nominal center of Pyongyang and serves as a gathering site for parades and other national events. There's a great view of Juche Tower from the Square as well as as the government building that surround the square.

???????? 360° Inside North Korea: Pyongyang Metro Station (평양 지하철) | Pyongyang, North Korea
A short 360° video of the inside of a North Korean metro station, in Pyongyang! =]
????????
This is a quick video waiting for the train at the Puhung/Puhang station on the Mangyongdae Line, heading to the Kaeson station (home of the Triumph Arch and the most popular Theme Park in the country)! Like many of the central metro stations, it is very grand and adorned with murals of the usual suspects. The daily newspapers are also on display on stands on the platform, so that anybody can catch up on the news (the most popular pages always seem to be the ones about Lionel Messi scoring hat-tricks for Barcelona)!
