North Korea is perhaps the most isolated state in the world. It positions itself as striving for self-sufficiency and autonomy. Probably not a single time machine can send you so far into the past as a trip to this country.

Pyongyang
The population of Pyongyang - the capital of North Korea - is about 4 million people, and provincial residents have the right to get there, only by issuing a special pass that allows this to be done. There is a metro in the capital, but despite this, the bicycle remains a fairly popular mode of transport. Outside the city, it is customary to travel on the way, here you will not be refused if there is a place. And the military has the right to travel with fellow travelers legally.
Pyongyang, among other things, is a very beautiful city. Here are many magnificent buildings and monuments, most of which occupy the largest first place either in the world or among their Asian counterparts. For example, one of these buildings is the Arc de Triomphe, built entirely from blocks of white granite, the opening of which was timed to coincide with the seventieth anniversary of Kim Il Sung. It reminds residents of the city of Korean resistance. This Arc de Triomphe - an analogue of Paris - is considered the largest in the world. In the center of the city is a monument symbolizing the ideas of Juche - the North Korean ideology created by Kim Il Sung. In recent years, high modern skyscrapers have begun to appear in Pyongyang. It is noteworthy that you will not meet a single resident of Pyongyang without an icon depicting Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
