Start: 00:04:00, End: 00:07:00
In the entrance hall of Mangyongdae Schoolchildren's Palace there is a board inscribed with President Kim Il Sung's handwriting: "Children are the emperors of our country". Every surface in the lobby is covered with marble. In the center of the hall there is also a huge space shuttle. Mangyongdae Palace opened in May 1989. It stands at the end of Kwangbok Street, a 13-lane artery with no traffic lined with 42-storey high-rise apartment blocks. Children's Palace is a comprehensive center of after-school education for schoolchildren. The visit ends with a variety performance, where a children's choir sings: "We Are the Bodyguards and the Shock Brigades". |
