From olden times, Hoeryong women have been well known for their beautiful features, well-conditioned mind, sincerity and noble virtues.

Those in the southern areas of the country took Hoeryong girls in marriage without even a previous chance of seeing each other.

When visiting Hoeryong in the closing years of the Ri Dynasty, an envoy of other country admired the beauty of women in the area.

The womanly beauty is one of Hoeryong's three beauties together with white apricot and clay for ceramics.
