105 floor Liu Jing building

When I first entered Pyongyang, I saw a pyramid-like object far away from the city. At first I thought it was a coal pile or a cone mountain. Approaching slowly, I saw a huge building, which is the tallest building in Pyongyang and also a hotel. Because there are the most willow trees in history, Pyongyang is called Liu Jing, and this building may be the landmark of the city, called Liu Jing Tower. This building is as high as 105 floor, and it is magnificent and wants to go into the sky. Unfortunately, the project has not been completed, there is a crane on the roof, there is no external decoration outside the building, and it is still the main body of gray cement pouring. But it is too high, as majestic as a mountain. Due to the shortage of funds, it has been stopped, and it is said that the remaining projects still need 200 million US dollars. Therefore, North Korea is also attracting investment. The tour guide sincerely said that guests are very welcome to invest here or help contact funds, and * * * will build the building!

Koreans may have the habit of living in tall buildings, because there are many buildings in cities and villages. There are quite a few residential buildings with three or four floors in rural areas. In Pyongyang, Nanpu, Kaesong and Sinuiju, people can see twenty or thirty stories of high-rise residential buildings everywhere. Buildings rise from the ground, or stand out from the crowd or be set off by buildings. In this group of buildings, it is not difficult to feel the beautiful rhythm of frozen music played by North Korean workers.

When it comes to housing, North Koreans are very proud. One of North Korea's three free policies is free housing. Whether in rural or urban areas, houses are built by the state in a unified way and then distributed to every citizen to live in. Rural housing is generally an independent courtyard set up by households, with large roof, high eaves and brick structure, which is very ethnic. There are also two or three-story flat-topped buildings, which are generally built on the mountain and row upon row, rarely occupying cultivated land. In cities, especially Pyongyang, almost all buildings are high-rise buildings, and elevators have 20 to 40 floors or more. In order to improve the living environment, many green spaces are arranged between high-rise buildings, which makes you feel that buildings are among green trees and trees are among tall buildings. Trees and buildings feel so good. The per capita green space in Pyongyang is 58 square meters, the urban environment is quiet and elegant, and the air is very fresh. Houses allocated by the state to citizens are free. As long as there is an application for marriage, there is a house. Small area is 70-80m2, and large area100-200m2. There are six of our tour guides, Li Shun, who live in a house of 180 square meters, with an average of 30 square meters each. Housing concessions are also reflected in not only the state's free housing allocation, but also the distribution of household appliances, such as wardrobes. There is no room charge, and even the usual housing expenses, such as sanitation, electricity, water, property and heating in winter, are uniformly provided. Generally, a family's usual water, electricity and heating costs add up to 2 yuan, which is only a symbolic charge. Because I want to contact North Korea to sell electricity meters, I am particularly concerned about their electricity sales. As a result, I learned that a considerable number of houses are not at ease with electricity meters, and electricity is distributed by the state as a welfare. They charge for everything in China, and they don't know much about it. They are surprised at the heating, electricity, water and even property fees they charge.
