TOURIST ATTRACTIONS IN THE MT. PAEKTU REGION

Mt. Paektu (Northern Part)

As an inland area in the northern part of Korea, it comprises the revolutionary battle sites, revolutionary sites and scenic spots in Ryanggang Province with Mt. Paektu, the highest mountain in Korea, as its axis. The name of the province was derived from the fact that it lies at the juncture of the Amnok and Tuman rivers which find their way to the east and west seas, with Mt. Paektu as their watershed. As a mountainous area, the province is situated high above the sea.

Mt. Paektu area is a historic place where President Kim Il Sung commanded the sacred struggle against the Japanese imperialists to liberate Korea from their military rule. So preserved there, are many revolutionary battle sites and revolutionary sites. In the area is the Paektusan Secret Camp where Chairman Kim Jong Il was born.

Mt. Paektu area, mainly covered with thick primitive forests, has many magnificent and beautiful natural sceneries and wonders, including Lake Chon on Mt. Paektu and Rimyongsu Falls. It is inhibited by many rare animals, and various species of plants grow there. It is the coldest area and the difference of temperatures between summer and winter is the greatest in Korea. The average annual temperature in Lake Samji is 0.6oC and the average annual precipitation is 550-1,440 mm.
