Mt. Myohyang (DPR Korea)

Mt. Myohyang (DPR Korea)

Mt. Myohyang is a North Korean tourist attraction, off and on, with various hiking routes. Apart from the view, tourists are attracted by the Pohyon temple, built in the 11th century, the Sangwon hermitage, the Kumgang hermitage, and the Habiro hermitage.  Notably, at Myohyang-san is the International Friendship Exhibition centre, dubbed the world’s biggest treasure-house. On exhibit are presents received by North Korean leaders over the years.  One building stores the presents given to Kim Il-sung, while a smaller one holds those given to his son Kim Jong-il.   We do not know if any facility houses gifts to the current leader, but it would be hard to top the stuffed cayman (we think) holding a tray of drinks.  This folder from Korea International Tourist Bureau dates from the 1990s.  Grade: 1
