Chollima Statue, Bronze monument on Mansu Hill, Pyongyang, North Korea.
The Chollima statue features a winged horse carrying a worker holding a letter and a peasant woman with rice sheaves, reaching 46 meters in total height.
The Mansudae Art Studio constructed this monument for Kim Il Sung's 49th birthday in 1961, during the period of reconstruction following the Korean War.
The monument represents the Chollima Movement, which encouraged North Korean workers to increase production speed, referencing a mythical horse traveling 1000 ri daily.
Visitors can observe the granite base and bronze figures while touring the Mansudae area, with the statue visible from multiple locations in central Pyongyang.
The structure combines three distinct elements: a 14-meter-tall horse sculpture, a 7-meter worker figure, and a 6.5-meter peasant representation, all atop a stone foundation.
