Rungna Dolphinarium, Dolphinarium on Rungna Island, Pyongyang, North Korea
The Rungna Dolphinarium contains a 1500-seat auditorium with glass panels and LED screens that display underwater views of marine performances.
The facility opened on July 25, 2012, following direct orders from General Kim Jong-il to create entertainment venues for the North Korean public.
Eight trained professionals, including Kim Yun-gyong, conduct dolphin shows that emphasize the connection between humans and marine animals.
Visitors can access the facility through organized tours, with admission prices set at approximately 5 euros for the marine life shows.
The water for the dolphin pools comes directly from the West Sea of Korea through a specialized pumping system.
