Not really sure what to say... The reunification hasn't yet happened so not sure what this monument is supposed to represent. We stopped our tour bus to get a few picks but really didnt need to.If you miss out on this one then dont be disappointed. Not one for the scrap book!
Like so much of the monumental sculpture in NK this is beautifully executed. I'm submitting it as a favourite in NK because of their depth of desire for Reunification, which this symbolises so well.
This is a statue along the road side, it is a nice picture spot. The tour guide told us it shows their hope of reunifying North and South Korea.
A beautiful, simple structure. Before visting the DPRK I presumed they were full of hate for the south (thanks to the Western media). Seeing this and hearing other stories enlightened me to the fact that peaceful reunification is a proccupation in the Korean mindset. It seems too complicated to ever happen, but the thought is a nice thing.
Sorry, but as most things in North Korea, its a very empty type of site. A arch and nothing more, as a previous review said go, take a picture, hear the story on the bus.
Going to and coming back from the DMZ you see this monument that is suspended above the highway.very nice very beautiful.
This arch hangs over the start of the highway leading to the DMZ. We stopped to look at it. Most of the other monuments in Pyongyang are more impressive,
It is a Pyongyang and North Korean Icon! a must see. But literally only need 5 min to take a few photos and move on.
Supposed to celebrate the future reunion of North and South Korea, the monument features two Korean woman joining hands over a wall. If nothing else it is a impressive structure to behold and a great photo op. You can't get too close though - when I tried someone from across the road told me to step back.
The monument was impressive in size. Vehicles drive on side roads around it, and no one seems to drive under it. Quirky rules like this make the DPRK "special" and "unique" as my guide kept reinforcing each time I would question such behaviors. The arch, which is a symbol of the desire to reunite Korea, is outside Pyongyang on the road that leads to the DMZ (and into South Korea, if the area between the two countries is ever reopened). Worth a photo stop.
