There are 17 underground stations. The stations' names are very meaningful and rich in their contents. The station, which was built in the place where the President Kim Il Sung made his first historic speech after his return to the liberated homeland in triumph, is named Kaeson station. Jonsung station is associated with the immortal exploit he performed by leading the three year-long fatherland liberation war to victory. All the stations including Kwangbok, Puhung, Konguk, Tongil and Yonggwang stations stand in historic places in residential districts.
All stations boast their architectural beauty.
The interior of the stations decorated with over 100 large murals and 100-odd pieces of sculptures and embossed carvings are reminiscent of an art museum. Conspicuous are chandeliers colorfully decorated with hundreds of thousands of beads and peculiar lamps hanging from the ceilings of magnificent halls. Both surface and underground stations are adequately air-conditioned. More underground railways are expected to be laid in Pyongyang in near future. The Pyongyang metro is one of major transport facilities for the citizens.
