Chongsokjong, Scenic Spot in DPRK
Pyongyang, October 19 (KCNA) -- Chongsokjong (group of stone pillars), located on the seashore of the township of Thongchon County, Kangwon Province, has long been known as one of the eight scenic spots in the northeastern part of Korea and a famous coastal scenic spot in the DPRK for its wondrous cliffs and rocks.

The angular stone pillars along the shore of the sea form wonderful shapes.

The stone pillars are wonderfully and mysteriously rooted in the clear sea, in groups or alone. Among them are Sasonbong, where four fairies were said to have had a great time, a stone bridge whose construction to the Palace of the King Dragon with the stone pillars was suspended, being carried away by the beauty of Chongsokjong, as well as a couple rock and a turtle rock.

The sunrise and the night scene under silvery moonlight over Chongsokjong are so spectacular.

Birds nesting on the cliff of Chongsokjong, pine trees growing strong with their roots deep into the cracks in rocks and splashes of waves running into the stone pillars all add beauty to the landscape here.

Chongsokjong also known as "Thongchon Kumgang" is listed as a natural monument of the country.
