kim il-sung square

Xia021

金日成广场在朝鲜的地位相当于中国的天安门广场,朝鲜每次的重要的集会和阅兵式或者庆典都会在这举行,这里的建筑大多数都用得是绿色的瓦片,很有朝鲜特色,尤其是人民大学习堂时常能在电视里见到,广场很大也很整洁,绿化非常好边上还有喷泉和金日成像,游客去的时候一般导游都会建议你买花方在金日成像边,价格也不贵,大约10元人民币,作为友好邻邦不妨买上一束,这里离著名的主题思想塔也不远

诺大的广场，比例超夸张的建筑，没有人！游客隔离，只能远望，广场只有几个小朋友在滑旱冰，远处的马路有几辆公交和自行车。那种空荡荡的压迫感从远处两金的画像上传来。。。

The main square in Pyongyang. It is huge and impressive. The architecture of the buildings surrounding it is grand. I'd like to go back and take more pictures. We went first at night and then a few days later during the day. Picture opportunities are great for both.

Pretty much the center of Pyongyang, this is a great place for photos. It's a huge square with no crowds which makes it surprisingly calm and peaceful.

This square has been built to host many military parades and give the beholder a grand look. It is indeed and grand and also gives us a thought of the respect that their great leader commands.

This is a pleasant square to walk in. It is spacious and not crowded. There are no shops, no restaurants, no clubs, no advertisements, no neon and no traffic. Kids enjoy roller skating here. A relaxing place. But it needs a few trees.

Gigantic square in the center of Pyonyang that gives the sense of the grandeur of DPRK Establishment.

Kim Il-sung Square is the type of attraction that is enjoyable to see once and take it all in, but after seeing The Square once you really have nothing to go back for, (Similar to the Forbidden City in Beijing. You likely won't have a choice whether or not you're going here based on the structure of your tour. However I found that Kim Il-sung Square was a nice place to clear my head from a hectic and busy schedule, and take in the life of the locals.

Merry children playing on Kim Il-sung Square in central Pyongyang with the Juche Tower in the background. This huge open square has been the venue for many large-scale parades and celebrations in honour of the dear leaders. Keep in mind that the huge Juche Tower may look like it's right at the end of this square, but it's on the other side of the river (invisible here), a kilometer to the east.

The above is my refrain every time I see the newscasts of the Square and the army and the adoring people worshiping their great (late) leader.What can I say? It is a big open space.

The place where all the big parades take place on the important days in North Korea. On a non parade day its an open space for a wander with your guides.

It is really strange walking around the square as there really isnt many locals around. A must when in North Korea

The square with the marching troops and military hardware you normally see in the news. Strange feeling when you walk on it, but definitely worth it if you do visit Pyongyang.

if you have ever seen a north korean military parade, this is where it happens, well worth a visit if not on your itinerary
