About the Tower of the Juche Idea

 “Glorious monument” “You can't appreciate the size and impressiveness of this monument in photos. It is amazing to walk around and well worth taking the lift to the top for the view over the city. Fascinating structure.”

Rhumsaa82. Ramsey, United Kingdom. 5 stars on TripAdvisor.


About the Mansudae monument
"WOW"
"This was my introduction to the sights of Pyongyang and it was spectacular. The experience of bowing to the massive statues with patriotic songs blaring in the background is so surreal. It also provides a first-hand look at the amount of respect the locals pay to the Kim family. For many locals, this might be a once in a lifetime chance. This is THE experience that I remember most from my trip."
Salman S. Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

About the Monument to the Korea Workers Party
"Iconic monument"
"Nobody does giant monuments quite like the DPRK. The monument itself is impressive wit the giant sickle, hammer and brush of the DPRK Workers Party visible from distance. When you step into the middle of the monument you realize the attention to detail with the inside ring decorated in murals and scripture"
Rhumsaa82. Ramsey, United Kingdom.

"Great site to appreciate the thinking behind the party"
"A grand monument. The guide did a good job in explaining the history and ideas behind the party. Also a good location for pictures."
