Fascinating Scene of Sungnyong Hall, Architectural Heritage
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- Nowadays, many citizens of the DPRK have visited Sungnyong Hall to spend a pleasant time, playing national musical instruments and folk games like Janggi (Korean chess), Paduk and yut-game.

Sungnyong Hall, one of the architectural heritages representing the period of feudal Joson dynasty (1392-1910), is located in Central District, Pyongyang.

The hall, built in 1429, was a place to hold a memorial service for King Tangun, ancestral father of the Korean nation.

Seeing its fascinating scene, overseas compatriots and foreigners would say that they keenly feel the intention of the Korean people to preserve and glorify the nation's superior cultural traditions and heritages.

Hong Chol Hwan, an official of the Pyongyang City Management Office for the Preservation of National Heritage, told KCNA that the excellent national culture created by ancestors has been further developed in the age of the Workers' Party.
