流星穗血:“The names of Pyongyang subway stations have nothing to do with the geographical location of the station, but are related to the history of the Korean revolution. For example: Gwangbok Station, Kaixuan Station, Beonghuo Station, Jianguo Station, etc. Moreover, each station name is related to the murals, reliefs and other artworks and lighting configurations in the waiting hall of each station.”

正人君子001:“Yuliu Pavilion is a typical traditional Korean building. It was built in the 1960s and has two floors. The roof is similar to the Forbidden City in China, but it uses green glazed tiles, and there are no legendary stone beasts on the eaves of the four corners to ward off evil spirits. It is built with white stones all over. The pointed roof, the tall and straight columns, the elegant pavilions, and the gurgling water are all alike, and it has the style of a royal palace. It is located by the river. When the sun shines on it during the day, the top is as green as jade and the body is as white as mutton fat, echoing with the river water, like flowing jade, hence the name.”
