Moran Hill, Hill in Pyongyang, North Korea

Moran Hill is a 95-metre hill in central Pyongyang whose summit holds the Pyongyang TV Tower. Its slopes are covered by a park with walking paths, and the ridge is dotted with monuments including the Arch of Triumph and Kim Il-sung Stadium. On the hill stand historic wall remains and pavilions such as the Ulmil Pavilion and the Chilsong Gate.

Moran Hill was the northern defensive edge of Pyongyang Fortress since the Goguryeo period, and wall sections and pavilions remain. Japanese forces occupied it in 1592–1598 and destroyed pavilions and temples in fighting with Ming troops. On 15 September 1894, during the Sino-Japanese War, the hill's fortifications were stormed and the city fell. A Kija tomb stood here until Kim Il-sung ordered its destruction in 1959.

Moranbong Theatre stands on the site of the former Pyongyang Shrine, built during Japanese rule. It is where Kim Il-sung was nominated as head of state of North Korea. Nearby, the Hungbu Revolutionary Site preserves trees bearing slogans carved during the independence struggle.

The hill is accessible on foot with multiple entry points for visitors. Several dining venues near the area serve local cuisine.

The hill's name means "Peony Peak" because its overall shape resembles a peony flower, and ridges radiate from the summit to the north, west and south like petals. It is counted among the Eight Views of Pyongyang and the Eight Views of Korea.
