Mansu Hill Grand Monument, Bronze monument at Mansu Hill, Pyongyang, North Korea.

Two 20-meter bronze statues of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il stand at the center of a complex featuring 229 additional figures.

The monument was inaugurated in April 1972 for Kim Il-sung's 60th birthday, with Kim Jong-il's statue added in 2011.

Visitors and locals present flower baskets at the monument's base while performing synchronized bows according to North Korean traditions.

Photography of the statues requires capturing them in full frame, and all visitors must follow specific protocols during their visit.

The monument contains a mosaic wall depicting Mount Paektu behind the statues, with groups of 5-meter-tall figures extending 200 meters on both sides.
