The Pyongyang Chewing Gum Factory is a factory that manufactures chewing gum in Pyongyang, North Korea. The plant is run by Korea Ponghwa General. History The Pyongyang Gum Factory began operation in October 2003 in a 4,400 square metres (47,000 sq ft) floor area facility, located on a 11,900 square metres (128,000 sq ft) plot of land in Rakrang-guyok. Its annual production capacity was reported to be 1,200 tons. In 2008, it moved to a new location on Tong'il Street, Chung-guyok.

Pyongyang Foreigners School

The Pyongyang Korean School for Foreigners (Korean: 평양외국인학교) is a primary school in Pyongyang, North Korea, exclusively for foreign children. It has also a facility for foreign children studying on secondary school level. The school is located at the Munsudong diplomatic compound in Pyongyang, the capital of the DPRK. The children who attend are mainly dependents of the diplomatic community and the United Nations agencies in the country, although also children of foreign businessmen, mainly Chinese, have been joining the school. All teachers are Korean. The language of instruction is English. Local textbooks in English are used. English and mathematics are the two major subjects, with Korean language, music, art and physical education as minor subjects; from class 3 onwards also science is provided as minor subject. In the early 1990s the official name in English of the school was "Pyongyang Foreigners School", which is the straight translation of the name of the school in Korean (평양외국인학교), which did not change. History Pre-DPRK history A school with the same name in Korean, but the English language name "Pyeng Yang Foreign School" operated as an American Presbyterian mission school (founded in 1900 CE), and was closed in 1940 CE with the greater militarization of Korea and antagonistic attitude towards foreigners by the then Japanese government. The missionary faculties involved continued their legacy from 1958 CE in another missionary school called Taejon Christian International School. Mrs. Ruth Bell Graham, wife of evangelist Billy Graham, attended the Pyeng Yang Foreign School in the 1930s. The buildings of this school were destroyed during the Korean War, and the site was used to build the Embassy of the Soviet Union, the present Russian Embassy complex. The Russian Embassy also includes a Russian school open for all foreign children of the diplomatic community, with Russian as the language of instruction. As 2025 CE, Russian school in Pyongyang had 25 students and 10 teachers (all are Russian citizens). Recent History Between 1991 CE and 2015 CE, the school doubled in size. As of 2015 CE, the school had around 40-50 students. The school follows the North Korean curriculum.

Résidence Ryongsong

La résidence Ryongsong, en hangeul 룡성 관저, en hanja 龍城官邸, aussi appelée résidence no 55, en hangeul 55호 관저, ou encore résidence luxueuse centrale, en hangeul 주요 고급 저택, est la résidence principale officielle de Kim Jong-un, dirigeant suprême de la Corée du Nord. Terminée en 1983, elle fut la résidence secondaire de Kim Il-sung et l'ancienne résidence principale de Kim Jong-il. Architecture La résidence Ryongsong se trouve en Corée du Nord, au nord-est de Pyongyang, à douze kilomètres au nord de la place Kim Il-sung. Administrativement, elle dépend de l'arrondissement de Ryongsŏng. Le domaine s'étend sur environ 12 km2 au cœur d'une forêt dans une région vallonnée. Plusieurs bâtiments et installations composent la résidence. On y trouve la villa abritant les appartements du dirigeant et servant aux réceptions officielles des dignitaires étrangers mais aussi une piscine olympique (détruite en 2013), un centre de bien-être avec un spa et un sauna, un stade d'athlétisme, une écurie, un hippodrome, un stand de tir, un circuit automobile et plusieurs étangs. Ces installations en surface sont complétées par des bunkers souterrains antiatomiques dont un quartier de commandement militaire qui sont reliés par des tunnels. On y trouve aussi une gare ferroviaire souterraine privative permettant de rejoindre d'autres résidences secondaires dont celle de Changsong et de Wonsan. La défense de la résidence est assurée par des clôtures électriques, des champs de mines, des batteries anti-aériennes camouflées, des check-points et surveillée par plusieurs unités militaires lourdement armées. Histoire La construction de la résidence par une brigade spéciale de l'armée populaire de Corée est terminée en 1983 sous la direction de Kim Il-sung, le fondateur et dirigeant de la république démocratique populaire de Corée. Il l'utilise alors comme résidence secondaire, sa résidence principale étant le palais présidentiel de Kumsusan situé à Pyongyang. À sa mort en 1994, ce palais présidentiel est transformé en mausolée et la résidence de Ryongsong devient la résidence principale de son successeur et fils Kim Jong-il. Au décès de ce dernier en 2011, Kim Jong-un, son fils qui lui succède à la tête de l'État, maintient sa fonction de résidence principale.

Ryongtongsa

Ryongtongsa is a Korean Buddhist temple located on Ogwansan in Kaesong, North Korea. History Founded by the Cheontae sect of Buddhism in 1027, the temple is believed to be one of the first of the sect's temples in Korea. Destroyed by a fire in the 16th century, and further damaged by American bombing during the Korean War, little remained of the original temple when reconstruction began in 2000 as a joint Korean cultural project. After five years of work, the restoration was completed on October 31, 2005. The temple contains the ashes of Uicheon, the sect's founder. A son of Emperor Munjong of Goryeo, he spent most of his life in Kaesong before retiring to the temple as an ascetic, where he lived until his death. The temple was thus closely connected with the royal family of Goryeo and was where they would attend services. Architecture The main temple is divided into two sections: a west court and an east court. The main entrance to the temple is through the South Gate, in front of which are located the temple's original stone banner pillars. Through the gate is an unwalled plaza containing a monument to Uicheon. Erected in 1125, the much-worn stele rests on the back of a lion-turtle, and commemorates episodes from the life of the great monk. It is listed as National Treasure #155. From here, both the Middle and East Gates are accessible. The Middle Gate, directly across from the South Gate, leads to the temple's large West Court, which is dominated by Bogwang Hall (普光院, "Hall of Universal Light"), the temple's main shrine. To the right, the East Gate leads to the smaller courtyard fronting Bojo Hall (普炤院, "Hall of Universal Clarity"), devoted to veneration of the Bodhisattvas. In front of Bogwang Hall there are three pagodas, two three-storied, and one five-storied. The smaller three-storied pagoda measures 4.1 meters, while the larger measures 4.4. The five storied pagoda is 5.5 meters. The pagodas are plainly carved in sandstone, with upturned eaves surmounting square segments decorated only with raised vertical lines on the corners. All three date to the Koryo dynasty. The pagodas are registered as National Treasure #133. Directly behind Pogwang Hall is Junggak Hall (重閣院), a meditation room and lecture hall decorated with paintings of important Buddhist monks. Behind this there are two gates to the back courtyard of the temple, where Sungbok Hall (崇福院) is located. This building once held the living quarters for the temple's monks. Behind the main temple and up the mountain is Gyeongseon Hall (敬先院), containing a shrine to Uicheon; The stone stupa in front of the hall contains his ashes. The roofs of the main buildings are decorated with ceramic ornaments in the shapes of fish (known as wenshou in Chinese). These are believed to keep the buildings safe from evil and fire. Altogether, the reconstructed temple consists of over 26 buildings in an area of over 4,000 square meters.

Le temple de Ryongthong (령통사) se trouve à Ryongthong, dans la vallée du mont Ogwan à 10 km de la ville de Kaesong. Le temple a été la base du célèbre grand prêtre Taegak, qui a fondé et diffusé le chonthae, une secte du bouddhisme. Il a existé jusqu'au XVIe siècle, quand il a été détruit. Il était l'un des temples les plus importants de l'époque. Couvrant une superficie de plus de 60 000 mètres carrés avec 26 bâtiments, le temple a été restauré à son état d'origine en 2005 avec le soutien du Parti des travailleurs de Corée. La pagode à cinq niveaux du temple de Ryongthong est un des trésors nationaux de Corée du Nord tout comme le monument en l'honneur du grand prêtre.
