“Most people that visit North Korea will be treated to a similar view from the Yanggakdo Hotel, located on an island on the Taedong river. The hotel itself has all the charm of a decent early 90s airport hotel, but the view at the top is quite spectacular.”

“Crazy hotel, also known as the ‘Alcatraz of fun’ because you cannot leave outside of tour times. This was taken from my room window, which you could open like any normal window. No health and safety here.”
