Pyongyang, April 20 (KCNA) -- Korea has been widely known as a "country of scenic beauty" from early times. Among its scenic spots is Pakyon Falls, one of the three famous falls in Korea. It is located in Pakyon-ri, Kaesong City of the DPRK. The Pakyon Falls is 37 meters high and 1.5 meters wide. The water, which runs down into the ravine between Songgo and Chonma mountains and falls down a rock wall, constitutes the falls. There is a pond "Pakyon" on the top of the falls with a standing-stone in the center. At the bottom of the falls, there is another pond named "Komodam". And there is a round rock named "Ryongbawi" (dragon-shaped rock) on the border of "Komodam". The Pakyon Falls looks more beautiful in good harmony with rocks of fantastic shapes and forests around it. |
