Pyongyang Bell, Bronze monument in Taedongmun-dong, North Korea.

The bronze bell measures 3.1 meters in height and 1.6 meters in diameter, with intricate designs cast into its metal surface.

Created in 1726 during the Ri dynasty, the bell replaced an earlier version that was destroyed by fire in 1714.

The bell announces major events in Pyongyang, including New Year celebrations, following a tradition maintained through generations.

Visitors can view the bell exclusively through government-approved tour operators who provide specific access times and guided explanations.

The bell contains a mixture of 35 different metals, including materials collected from local communities, merchants, and religious institutions.
