Netizens have returned from traveling in North Korea and tell you about the real North Korea

We arrived in Pyongyang in the afternoon. When we left the Pyongyang Railway Station, what we saw in front of us were passengers coming and going and colorful residential buildings. The buildings in Pyongyang are different from what I imagined. They have strong color tension and very regular shapes. The style of all buildings in Pyongyang is the same as the dress of local people, which is regular, unified and serious.

The roads in North Korea are wide and straight. The roads in Pyongyang, the capital, are very smooth. In the future, Scientist Street will be an asphalt road. In cities like Kaesong and Nanpu, many roads are potholed. There are no roads at all in rural areas. North Korea also has highways, but there are very few vehicles on them. On the highway from Myohyang Mountain back to Pyongyang, I saw pheasants foraging on it many times.

North Korean female traffic police are the bright spots on the streets, and many male tourists’ eyes light up when they see them. They are just image messengers on the roadside, anthropomorphic street lamps. Under the scorching sun, their faces are red and sweaty, but they still guide the traffic in high spirits. At night, they still stick to their posts. They wear work clothes with fluorescent lights to identify themselves.

North Koreans are very familiar with the saying that men are from the south and women are from the north, and tourists who travel to North Korea also agree with this statement. Because there are really many beauties on the streets of North Korea. My neck was sore from admiring the beauty. However, most of the North Korean men I saw along the way were very thin. With silent expressions, they were either squatting together chatting, or walking in a hurry with briefcases on their shoulders. North Koreans dress almost the same, have almost the same hairstyle, and even have the same expressions.

North Koreans live a very simple life, commuting between home and work every day. There are no social activities or entertainment activities after get off work. Everyone is used to going to bed early and getting up early. They don’t have to worry about buying a house or a car, choosing a school for their children, or finding a job. Because the state takes care of everything. From elementary school to retirement, the state takes care of many aspects, so you don’t need to think too much. Some people like this kind of life of North Koreans, and some people don't.

And you?
