The tourists spared no admiration at high and steep cliffs, including Manmulsang (myriad-shaped peaks), rocks of fantastic shapes, thick forests, deep valleys and other scenic spots.

Albert Kukharyk, vice captain of the ship, told KCNA:

"The view of Mt. Kumgang is so fascinating.

It is regretful for me not to see all of its spots for lack of time. Back home, I will tell my family members about the scenery of Mt. Kumgang.

I want to continue to work in the tourist ship for a long time, so I will come here again."

Surianto, a crewman of the ship, said:

"I have never seen such scenic mountain as Kumgang.

To my regret, I have no time to see Lagoon Samil and other spots. I will tour all other spots of this mountain if I come here again."

Choe Pok Sil, a resident in Jilin Province of China, said:

"It was marvelous to command the view of Mt. Kumgang from the top of Manmulsang. Now I am so excited.

I once visited Jeju Island in south Korea, but Mt. Kumgang is much more beautiful than the island."

The tourists left Mt. Kumgang on the same day.
