Samjiyon Revolutionary Battle Site, Revolutionary monument in Samji-yŏn, North Korea.

The Samjiyon Revolutionary Battle Site spans 1.16 kilometers and features a central 15-meter bronze statue of Kim Il-sung holding binoculars.

The monument, constructed in May 1979, commemorates the 1939 Battle of Musan where guerrilla fighters confronted Japanese forces during the occupation period.

The monument includes multiple granite sculptures, including the Forward March Trumpeter group, which depicts soldiers advancing into combat with determination.

Visitors can access the site through Samjiyŏn-sŏn railway station and explore the adjacent Paektusan Museum, which documents the resistance against Japanese control.

A 50-meter tower stands to the right of the main statue, topped with a torch representation similar to the Juche Tower in Pyongyang.
