North Korea tourism

In an era of deepening globalization, there are still some relatively closed countries, such as "North Korea". In our inherent understanding, North Korea is synonymous with backwardness and isolation. Whenever we mention them, we will think of China before the 1970s and 1980s. At that time, China's environment was also very closed, which was caused by the blockade of Western countries and our country's helplessness to protect itself. During the few days I spent traveling in North Korea, my impression of this country was still very good. It really resembled China in the 1970s and 1980s. The tour guide spoke very good Chinese, and the female tour guide was also very beautiful, introducing us to many local specialties. The real North Korea is different from what I imagined. What I saw and heard left a deep impression on me and a long aftertaste. The China-North Korea Friendship Tower, where everyone spontaneously laid flowers. The Pyongyang Metro, which is 100 meters deep and has a very long elevator tunnel. When you reach the waiting platform below, it is a spacious place with murals on the walls and chandeliers on the ceiling, similar to the architectural style of the Soviet Union. The Pyongyang Children's Palace, where I saw many children studying, and everyone brought books and toys to give to the children. There is also a new rural area similar to those in China. After visiting the households, there is a model house and a demonstration village. There is also a triumphal arch here. One travelogue cannot fully express my feelings, please see the follow-up.
