Many people think that North Korea is "poor mountains and bad waters" compared to my vast great China, there is no play head, in fact, people who have been there will know, they also have a lot of highlights and wonders, to say that the most shocking of them, Pyongyang subway is definitely the first, to know that it can have one of the deepest subways in the world, is a well-known punch card place, the locals are also very "interesting" to include it in the itinerary, but do you know why they want to build him so deep?
To say that their subway actually developed quite early, began construction in 1968, this can be known from his design, many people do not know, throughout the second half of the 20th century they ushered in a period of great development, the south, we see a lot of things in North Korea, although slightly dilapidated, but everything is not without reason. Unfortunately, the development was hindered later, and many things also stopped in the past, and the North Korean subway was one of them, only maintaining operations, rarely expanding the line, and still only two lines in Pyongyang.
Maybe you will say that the old subway is beautiful? It is the torrent that rolls forward, so that many things have been renovated before we have time to taste, and the special development trend has made this a museum of the times, taking the subway as an example, his unique style design is the mark of the times. The reason why it was built so deeply was the special needs of that era, when the entire peninsula was in danger, and in addition to taking on the travel needs of residents, it was also a very reliable civil defense project.
It is estimated that the deepest part of the North Korean subway is 200 meters deep, making it the largest subway in the world that is still running. The whole North Korea tourism is full of propaganda, as a world-famous subway, the locals certainly do not hesitate to show it, although the whole itinerary is intended to avoid tourists from interfering with the lives of local residents, but it is unprecedented to allow tourists to experience a station subway tour, if it is an in-depth tour of the itinerary will mostly include it, although tourists are concentrated in special carriages, but with the locals is also a rare super close contact.
Due to its deep design, it takes 3 to 4 minutes to get from the station to the lobby, which is a wonderful feeling, and you can also meet many locals who are riding with you. Come to the hall, the mark of the times comes to the face, influenced by the Su-style aesthetics, the hall is obviously a Europa style, empty space, meticulous and luxurious detail carving, low-key atmospheric chandelier, let you feel as if you are in Europe, and the propaganda posters advocating people's unity and upward movement on the four walls are organically integrated with all this, it is indeed a rare experience for him, are you moved?
