Tour inside the country (photo): Forbidden North Korea .. A glimpse of the strangest building in it
The world's position on North Korea is swinging between real horror and joking. Like its predecessors in the dictatorial leadership, German Nazism and Russian Soviets, North Korea tends to embody this kind of sentiment through its structure. On the one hand, the country's fondness for soft and small forms, which reminds us of America in the 1950s. But on the other hand there are giant towers that hide the viewers under it. In such a country that secures a lot, the buildings have their own language in expression.
- When entering the capital Pyongyang, visitors pass through the Arch of Reunification. Two women bear the symbol of North Korea and South unified, expressing the vision of strong leader Kim Song II of the two countries.
The visitors are immediately shaken by the Labor Party. On this monument is written: "The Korean Workers' Party lives as a guide and organizer of all the victories of the Korean people."
In the center of the capital there is the 105-storey skyscraper, the Rio Gyeong Hotel, currently the world's tallest abandoned building, where there has been no work since 1992.
On the other side of the city is the 558-foot-tall Gucci Tower overlooking the Tidong River.
One of North Korea's most magnificent buildings is located in the city center, the Children's Palace in Maneong de.
North Korea does not have enough electricity, so the country is drowning in darkness at night. The little that remains is the lighting of the image of the country's founder Kim Song.
These buildings would not have been possible without the efforts of thousands of workers forced to work long hours in construction.
Conditions are often low and people live in extreme poverty.
Most of the buildings in the country are magnified by North Korean pimps, Kim Song II, who ruled between 1972 and 1994, and was followed by Kim Jong-II, who took over until his death in 2011.
The memory of these two men is celebrated throughout the capital, and the most obvious places are the Great Hall of the People.
There is the National Military War Museum, which celebrates Korea's victory over American imperialism during the Korean War.
In a building in the center of the capital, the words "Great leaders Kim Song and Kim Jong will stay with us forever"
North Korea also boasts the world's largest sports stadium, World Workers' Day Stadium.
This stadium can accommodate 150,000 spectators. It is used for large annual sporting events.
There is also the water park "Monso", where people enjoy their time after long tiring days.
Science also has a major role in North Korea. As an example there is a technical science complex, built in the form of an atom and opened in 2015.
Kim Jong-An, the country's leader, hopes the center will help the technical and scientific development of a richer and stronger country on the science and technology locomotive.
Some apartments in the buildings contain solar panels.
Many of the buildings are characterized by their dark colors and industrial landscape.
But other buildings, such as the children's home and the Wun San orphanage, are light-colored.
The house was completed in 2015, with its blue and yellow colors and many lines, it gives comfort from the concrete that controls most areas of North Korea.
Although there are some bright spots, the view from afar shows North Korea's obsession with power and control.
