011. 개성시의 명승 박연폭포 - Pakyon Waterfall in Kaesong by Korea Central News

박연폭포(朴淵瀑布)은 조선민주주의인민공화국 개성공업지구북부에서 있는 폭포이다 황진이(黃眞伊)와 서경덕(徐敬德)과 더불어 송도삼절이라고 불렸다 Pakyon Falls is a stunning spot, with water pouring over a smooth granite edge, 37m down into a deep blue pool below There are large rocks in the pool, one with a handy small staircase carved into it, and on some days locals flock here for picnics and frolicking While swimming isn’t permitted due to safety concerns there are certainly some Korean lads who do it anyway, so see if you can convince your guide (and be careful!) Travelling from Pyongyang to Kaesong and the DMZ at Panmunjom is on the itinerary for almost all visitors to North Korea However, there are places along the highway which are usually skipped and yet have great value in stopping at, from the small (Dinosaur footprints!), to the large (Sariwon City), such a journey can be added-to and enhanced, and for anyone with an interest in a bit of scenery as well as some ancient history the Pakyon Falls area would be good option Around 45 mins by road from Kaesong itself the southern end of the Ahobiryong Mountains can be reached, the road is steep but good enough for cars and buses Although decent shoes would be well recommended depending on how far you intend to walk +++ 忍齋 黃薔 李相遠님 - 노란장미의 사는 이야기 그리고 80518
