The batch consisted of Chinese people.

They were fascinated by the amazing scenery of the world's famous Mt. Kumgang boasting of myriads of fantastic cliffs.

Cui Longzhe from Yanji City, Jilin Province of China told KCNA:

"Last year I toured Mt. Chilbo with my friends. Its scenery was very impressive for me.

Today I went round the area of Kuryong Pool in Mt. Kumgang. Its scenery is as beautiful and fantastic as that of Mt. Chilbo. Mt. Kumgang is majestic and its water is very crystal.

What I also enjoyed very much here is bathing in hot spring."

Gao Guiqing, a medical worker of Yanji City, said:

"I really enjoyed myself with mountaineering. All tourists are satisfied with the clean environment and service here.

Employees of this resort are very kind. I want to tour Mt. Kumgang again. Also impressive here is spectacular forest of pine trees. I like it very much."

Wang Zhaowei from Yanji City said:

"Mt. Kumgang attracts people with its natural beauty. I want to enjoy its scenery again.

I hope that through tourism the China-DPRK friendship will be boosted."
