Pyongyang (/ˈpjɒŋˈjæŋ/; (Chosŏn'gŭl: 평양; hancha: 平壤), Korean pronunciation: [pʰjʌŋjaŋ], literally: "Flat Land" or "Peaceful Land", approved: P’yŏngyang; several variants) is the capital of North Korea and the largest city in the country. Pyongyang is located on the Taedong River and, according to preliminary results from the 2008 population census, has a population of 3,255,388. The city was split from the South Pyongan province in 1946. It is administered as a directly governed city (chikhalsi, 직할시) on the same level as provincial governments, not a special city (teukbyeolsi, 특별시) as Seoul in South Korea.
"Pyongyang" literally means "Flat Land" in Korean. One of Pyongyang's many historic names is Ryugyong (류경; 柳京), or "capital of willows", as willow trees have always been numerous throughout the city's history; this served as an inspiration for many poems. Even today, the city has numerous willow trees, with many buildings and places having "Ryugyŏng" in their names. The most notable of these is the incomplete Ryugyong Hotel. The city's other historic names include Kisong, Hwangsong, Rakrang, Sŏgyong, Sodo, Hogyong, Changan, and Heijo (during Japanese rule in Korea). During the early 20th century, Pyongyang came to be known among missionaries as being the "Jerusalem of the East", due to its historical status as a stronghold of Christianity, namely Protestantism.

North Korea ( listen), officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK; Chosŏn'gŭl: 조선민주주의인민공화국; hancha: 朝鮮民主主義人民共和國; MR: Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk), is a country in East Asia, in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. The name Korea is derived from the Kingdom of Goguryeo, also spelled as Koryŏ. The capital and largest city is Pyongyang. North Korea shares a land border with China to the north and northwest, along the Amnok (Yalu) and Tumen rivers, and a small section of the Tumen River also forms a border with Russia to the northeast. The Korean Demilitarized Zone marks the boundary between North Korea and South Korea.
Korea was annexed by the Empire of Japan in 1910. After the Japanese surrender at the end of World War II in 1945, Korea was divided into two zones by the United States and the Soviet Union, with the north occupied by the Soviets and the south by the Americans. Negotiations on reunification failed, and in 1948 two separate governments were formed: the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the north, and the Republic of Korea in the south. An invasion initiated by North Korea led to the Korean War (1950–53). Although the Korean Armistice Agreement brought about a ceasefire, no official peace treaty was ever signed. Both states were accepted into the United Nations in 1991.
Pyongyang Station (Korean: 평양역) is the central railway station of Pyongyang, North Korea.
The station is the start of the P'yŏngbu and P'yŏngŭi lines, which were adjusted from the Kyŏngbu and Kyŏngŭi lines used before the division of Korea to accommodate the shift of the capital from Seoul to P'yŏngyang. The P'yŏngŭi Line runs from P'yŏngyang to Sinŭiju, while the P'yǒngbu Line theoretically runs through Seoul and ends at Busan; in practice, however, the line ends at Kaesǒng. It is also served by the P'yǒngnam Line, which runs from P'yŏngyang to Namp'o, as well as the P'yŏngdŏk Line running from P'yŏngyang to Kujang.
P'yŏngyang Station is the main station in North Korea and it connects most of the cities of the country: Chŏngju, Sinŭiju, Namp'o, Sariwŏn, Kaesŏng, Wŏnsan, Hamhŭng and Rason. Beside domestic routes, international destinations such as Beijing and Moscow are available by night trains. There are presently no scheduled trains to Seoul (about 250 km (155 mi) away), due to the separation of the two Koreas.

I myself as a travel video producer was a little concerned before entering, afraid my camera equipment would be confiscated at the border. Instead what I found was a country just starting to open to tourism. I was treated like royalty and allowed to pretty much film anything I wanted, other than groups of soldiers. At the moment, to visit the DPRK one must go with a tour company. I myself went with Young Pioneer Tours who run small group tours for westerners at a budget price. ...
I've always been very interested in North Korea because it seemed to be one of the most unique and mysterious countries in the whole world. This is my day to day life throughout the 7 days that I spent in North Korea. You can never be sure whether things were staged or not in North Korea because you are only shown what they want you to see. You can't choose where or when you will be going to specific places, they simply tell you to hop on a bus and ask you to get off at one point or another. That is why I didn't want to offer my opinion about whether things were staged or not, whether they were good or not, or honest or not. My goal was to show you what my day to day life looked like when I was there and let you make up your own mind and judge for yourself. Subscribe! YouTube: https://w...

In this lecture from The World Beyond the Headlines series, Lankov draws from his timely new book, "The Real North Korea", to substitute cold, clear analysis for the overheated rhetoric surrounding this opaque police state. He turns his focus to what North Korea is, what its leadership thinks, and how its people cope...
It's been called a once in a generation political event. The first party congress to be held in North Korea since 1980, before supreme leader Kim Jong Un was even born. Many see it as an an opportunity for Kim to showcase the country's stability under his leadership and promote recent successes. He's been pursuing what's been described as a guns and butter policy. Developing a nuclear weapons programme, while promising to help the economy in what remains one of the poorest countries in the world. But is it all just political theatre? And is Kim serious about raising living standards for North Koreans? Presenter: Hazem Sika Guests: BJ Kim - Adjunct Professor at the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.

PYONGYANG — North Korea's vice premier, Choe Yong Gon, was executed in May for insubordination and poor performance, Yonhap News Agency reported. South Korea's Unification Ministry, responsible for managing ties with North Korea, said Choe was last seen in December during Kim Jong Il's death anniversary and has since disappeared from public eye. On Wednesday, Yonhap News Agency reported citing an unnamed source who said that Choe was executed in May via firing squad. Choe was the deputy minister of construction and building materials. He reportedly had a disagreement with Kim Jong Un about a forestation policy and was also caught sleeping during a military parade. This is just the latest of a series of executions of high-level officials by Kim. An unidentified North Korean defector told...

RT takes an exclusive look at North Korea, the world’s most closed-off country. Life here is isolated from the outside world and every aspect of existence is regulated by order of the "Great Leader", from the art you’re allowed to see, the books you can read, even to your hairstyle. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is perhaps the least known country in the world today. Based on a political ideology known as ‘Juche’, the socialist government controls every source of information and the national leader, Kim Jong-un, preserves the peace and defends the state’s historical, spiritual and cultural heritage. It’s hard to overestimate the Commander-in-chief’s role in the country: his likeness adorns the streets and squares in every city and village. Through official portraits and statue...

Illustrating Cultural Heritage of Pyongyang Dangun designated Asadal as the nation's capital, and called the country Joseon. Asadal is what is known as Pyeongyang today! Pyeongyang is Gojoseon and Goguryeo's Capital. A place rich in cultural relics. A place where the history and culture of North and South Koreas are preserved. Pyeongyang is the storage space fo all of Korea's precious cultural relics. But Pyeongyang is a place difficult, if not impossible for even foreigners to visit. So how can we reach out and uncover and learn more about the Korean cultural relics hidden within Pyeongyang? One valuable source are the recollections of North Korean defectors from Pyeongyang.

North Korea lies somewhere between a 1930′s Soviet Union frozen in time and a dark, futuristic vision of society... as imagined back in the 70′s. "Land of Whispers" invites you to visit arguably the most unique and isolated travel destination in the world - not to criticize, but to observe and listen. Aside from usual highlights such as Pyongyang or Arirang, this unique one-man documentary brings you to areas such as Chongjin or Wonson, still virtually unknown to even google or wikipedia. There, I attempt to pierce through the ever-present 'national mythology' and as much as possible, I try to connect with people - such as the waitress mesmerized by tablet computers, or a tour guide cautiously fascinated by modern pop culture. * Third World Indie Film Festival 2013 (San Francisco, USA)...

We are honored and pleased that through this DVD we can share this transfor...
