Into North Korea,
In Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea,
What about the living standards of the locals?
Before embarking on a trip to North Korea, many people would have wondered what kind of country North Korea is, and they would have also been curious about the lives of people living in North Korea, especially in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. For this reason, according to statistics, for every 10 tourists who travel to North Korea, 7 people arrive at Pyongyang with their first stop in North Korea.
As a city built by the strength of the whole country, Pyongyang sits on a number of world firsts, if the world's tallest rotten tail building Liujing Hotel is a shame for The North Koreans, then the world's deepest Pyongyang subway station is the glory of the North Koreans, in fact, the Pyongyang subway station is also one of the representative infrastructure of the Chinese engineering team to build North Korea, Chinese tourists will also visit and ride when they travel to North Korea.
As is customary, visitors can only take one stop, and many visitors are surprised to see this project completed half a century ago. In the era of low productivity, the manpower and material resources used to build such a magnificent project were considerable, and it was even more difficult for China, which was struggling at that time, but China helped North Korea build this unique subway station with the basis of helping others.
Walking into Pyongyang means that tourists have walked into the "paradise" of North Koreans, and every year there are many North Korean foreigners who hope to join the Pyongyang household registration with their contributions to the country, but the real realization is less than one-tenth. The reason why they want to join the Pyongyang household registration is related to Pyongyang's superior medical level, developed education and perfect pension system.
At present, the three free livelihood guarantees introduced by the DPRK state to the North Koreans are actually a real guarantee for Pyongyang talents, because everything in Pyongyang is the best in the country, and the so-called three major guarantees also protect the rights and interests of Pyongyang people. So what about the standard of living of Pyongyang people in the North Korean capital? Walking on the streets of Pyongyang, you can see that the faces of Pyongyang people rarely reveal too much laughter.
They are more silent, so that outsiders cannot read any joy or sorrow from their expressions. The shops on the streets of Pyongyang are mainly state-run, and as tourists, we can only stand in front of the door to spy on one or two, but we can't enter, let alone know the price of state-run shops. But more importantly, we found that many shelves of state-run stores have no goods, and the salesmen inside are only working idly, which can be seen that in Pyongyang, the supply of materials is still scarce, and the standard of living is obvious.
