This thing is really out of place and celebrates a not well known victory on a not well known enemy but whatever! It's amazing!
that's pretty much all I can say. Perhaps very well maintained? This is another mandatory stop with an organized tour. It's there and just can't miss it.
Pretty impressive structure based on the Arch in Paris that commemorates the Koreans' struggle against the Japanese. It's worth seeing both for its historical significance and the beauty of the monument.
Triumphal arches, laid end to end, look pretty similar and frankly inspire few sharp intakes of breath. It's OK, and very "archy"It is, however, on the Metro line, and you will likely get to visit it on the subway which really is fascinating.
This one is similar to the one in Paris, but 11 metres taller! I did not go up, but I did see people up the top. It celebrates the victory against the Japanese in 1945. It is on a large round about, but the traffic is usually quite light. Mainly public transport. It is near to a sports stadium and the Triumphant Arch metro station. Here is also a good spot to take photos of the Pyongyang television tower.It was built in 1982, and sadly it is another example of wasting resources when they are needed in other areas of the country.
slightly bigger than the arc du trimphe another eye catching monument in the architecturally rich city of pyongyang
I haven't been to Paris to compare but as far as I know the Korean arch is bigger. It was the very first place I've visited after arriving in Pyongyang. It's also very beautiful with the night lights. You can see it in case you go to the fun fair.
why lots of things and I imagine tourist wish they could at least get to walk thru it. Unfortunately most times it is under guard, why would an arch be guarded? Strange thinking in north korea. In any case it is not worth visiting,
朝鲜版的凯旋门,也是环岛中央,旁边会很多汽车经过,也不知道是不是作数给游客看的,不知道是不是巴黎那样八大干道的汇集处。是我在朝鲜看到最多汽车的地方。。。
Bigger and more impressive than the Arch in Bucharest. Unfortunately you are not allowed to pass beneath it and to climb it. Would have been a nice view over Phoeniang!
