| Visit of West Sea Barrage |
| Nampo Dam |
| The Nampho Dam or West Sea Dam, also known as the West Sea Barrage, is a barrage located 15 km west of the special city of Nampho, North Korea. It is a huge, eight-kilometer-long system of dams, three lock chambers, and 36 sluices, allowing the passage of ships up to 50,000 tons. The dam closes the Taedong River off from the Yellow Sea. It was built from 1981 to 1986, with the resources of the whole country directed to this main construction project. The stated goal of the West Sea Dam was: |
| • The raising of the water level in the Taedong River and increased ship traffic; |
| • The prevention of seawater intrusion into the fresh water, thus solving the water supply problem; |
| • The irrigation of additional land, enlarging the arable territory of the region. |
| The dam is considered a major accomplishment of North Korea,[2] and is a commonly seen backdrop for North Korean television news broadcasts from Korean Central News Agency. It is also a typical stop for tour groups of international tourists, for whom there is a visitor center on P’i Do island. There, films are shown in different languages about the construction of the dam and the locks. |

| Pyongyang – Ryugyong Hotel |
| The Ryugyong Hotel (sometimes anglicised as Ryu-Gyong Hotel or Yu-Kyung Hotel is a 105-story pyramid-shaped skyscraper under construction in Pyongyang, North Korea. Its name („capital of willows“) is also one of the historical names for Pyongyang. The building is also known as the 105 Building, a reference to its number of floors. Construction began in 1987 but was halted in 1992 as North Korea entered a period of economic crisis after the fall of the Soviet Union. |
| After 1992 the building stood topped out, but without any windows or interior fittings. In 2008 construction resumed. In 2012, the exterior was reported to be complete. The opening of the hotel was scheduled several times but postponed. |
