Ten Famous Scenes of Mangyongdae
Pyongyang, April 15 (KCNA) -- Mangyongdae is a historic place where Kim Il Sung, the eternal President of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, was born on April 15, Juche 1 (1912).

From olden times, Mangyongdae has been famous for its kaleidoscopic view, compressed into ten famous scenes of a beautiful village.

The best view is vernal scenery of Mangyongdae reminding one of an earthly paradise covered with all sorts of flowers. Besides, there are such scenes as the figure of islets mirrored in moonlit waters of the Taedong River flowing around Mangyong Hill and the graceful geographical features of the hill.

Those peculiar scenes well show the villagers' passionate sentiments and noble way of life.

Old books wrote that Pyongyang area is noted for its scenic beauty and the landscape of Mangyongdae, a flower village, is the best.

In the 18th century, a local poet in Pyongyang said in his poem that he could hardly find appropriate words to represent the beautiful looks of Mangyongdae.

Mangyongdae, a pride of Pyongyang and Korea, will always remain in the hearts of the Korean people and the world progressives.
