This is one of the most unexplored regions of North Korea for foreigners. I made this film (it's the short version) in
Chilbo(san) Mountains near Kilchu town in 1990. Commentaries are in Russian, but there are English subtitles.

  • What is the truth about Buddhits in North Korea? sometimes temples have monks or priests sometimes not.

  • I have not seen priests, actually. There are people serving as priests and those who take care of the tamples.

  • wow this is amazing. I wonder if the region is similar today..

    btw do you know what the music is that is playing at 6:25 (and in various parts)? It sounds familiar.

    Thank you for sharing this video!

  • It's Kitaro. Thanks!

  • How in the hell are you allowed to go here? I supposed the visit is only restricted in Pyongyang?

  • I had been living in Pyongyang for 5 years as a journalist. Trips like that were organised on request by the Department of information in the MOFA of DPRK.

  • They have a few trophy temples, but they're just for show.  Practicing Buddhists are arrested and sent to labor camps.

  • Spaciba!!!

  • Hmmhmm,pretty horrible things happen all over the world,and by some very cynical and misguided people.

    Keep to the point of Ivan Zharchenkoi,i see naure,heritage and people living an agricultural life.

    I dont see CCTV posted on ever lamp post,just because you think you know what your own nose looks like because people tell you or you look in the mirror,it doesnt mean everyone elses nose is the same as yours.

  • Wow. It's a shame that the people are starving due to their horrible dictator. What a beautiful place..

  • North korean could be a great place to live if that cunt kim jong il was dead.. You must praise him lika a god? He's just a moron.
