It's 령통사 (Ryongtongsa Buddhist temple) at Kaesong (Capital of Koryo dynasty).

I think the temple is specially nice with the mountains on the background.
Thanks for sharing.

Firstable they have to do a mental progress from the 18th century , In South Korea were put huge efforts to change their mentality and eradicate their superstations hence today's South Korea is a modern country.

Sometimes I envy this plaza that North Korea has in their capital.
Wish Seoul had something like that...The Gwanggwhamun is ok but
I want something more streched out

What I like in NK is that everything seems to be very neat and organized. Contrasty, everything in my coutry (Vietnam) is very messy.
NK looks very similar to Vietnam, just more organized. I just have a feeling of visiting home

I think some parts of NK have a very developed infrastructure. I hope Vietnam will have this level of development in the next 50 years.

Anyway, Vietnam used to be separated into two parts and we had to pay an extremely expensive price to get united.

I hope the reunification of Korea will be the same way with what the Germans did to unite the West and East of Germany. The north part of Korea will definitely develop very fast and catch up with other countries very soon

Good pictures, we don't get to see much from North Korea. Will the Ryugyong Hotel ever be completed ? The structure looks something out of a movie, it's not bad at all in my honest opinion, although many people likely dislike it.
