Pyongyang, Capital city in North Korea

The metropolis extends across the banks of the Taedong River, featuring monumental squares, wide boulevards, and numerous administrative buildings in socialist architecture.

The city served as the administrative center during the Goguryeo Kingdom period in 427 CE, marking its establishment as a major regional power center.

The Mass Games at May Day Stadium involve 100,000 performers executing synchronized movements, displaying large-scale mosaics through coordinated card movements.

The Pyongyang Metro, consisting of two lines stretching 22.5 kilometers, transports over 300,000 passengers daily through stations decorated with marble and chandeliers.

The 170-meter Juche Tower contains 25,550 granite blocks, representing each day of Kim Il-sung's life until his 70th birthday.
