A few kilometres out of the city centre, it is effectively located at the city boundary, the end of the built up area, on the road to the demilitarized zone. It is symbolic of the desire to link the two Koreas into one. A very moving site, visited three times so far More

We passed it on our trip back from DMZ and it's a nice photo opportunity, especially with your NK guides! It's a symbolic thing as you stand united with your NK guide under the unification Arch :) More

All, while it is supposingly to transpire the wish of the north Korean people for unification of both Koreas it was built with a clear goal of the stalinist leadership in DPRK, the Kim Family Clan and the other nomenclatura, to cement their leadership in a politically isolated Korea. It looks good, and the genuine wish of average Koreans to... More

It shows the hope of the people for reunification and features two women wearing choson ot. There are many messages wishing for unification. It is a very moving site and well worth seeing. More

This monument is ugly and lies between the way to Seoul in South Korea. It’s not a beautiful monument and just simple as to pass by on cars. You may stop a bit to take some photos but there are not many things to see around but some red flowers and the signs. More

The scale of Pyongyang's various monuments and sculptures is quite large, and the Arch of Reunification is no exception. This monument is on the highway leading in/out of the city. You will see it on the way to the DMZ. It commemorates the country's efforts to re-unite the North and the South. Your tour group will likely stop for pictures... More
