Pyongyang Metro
Travel to one of the most deep-seated subway in the world. In hundreds of feet underground capital of the DPRK is a network of cavernous rooms, decorated with stone pillars and a beautiful mosaic. This underground Phenyana- most ambitious public works project.

Daily trips from the suburbs to work and back- common thing for North Korea. On the streets of Pyongyang many more cyclists and pedestrians than cars.
Photo: all the tickets
The metro is terrifying silence.
Metro stations exquisitely decorated, but they twilight reigns. People traveling to work, flick through the pages of newspapers, quietly playing patriotic music.

Most of the 16 stations of general use (a Korean subway there is a huge amount of secret used only by members of the Government, the paths) was built in 1970, but the most magnificent halls and -Puhung Yongvang were built in 1987. On the walls you can see the scenery made by skilled craftsmen.
Pyongyang Metro, one of the deepest in the world (located at a depth of 100 m)
Metro Trains for purchase in Germany. They repainted in red and green, but the graffiti on the windows are reminiscent of the past life of these cars. And, as elsewhere in the country, everywhere you can see portraits of political leaders.

While waiting, you can read a newspaper at the station
Passengers waiting for a train departure. Graffiti on the windows are reminiscent of their past "life" in eastern Germany
Worker waiting for the next metro train next to a large mosaic
Under the watchful eye of the former leaders of North Korea
