Located on Kwangbok Street in Pyongyang, the Youth Hotel arouses tender sentiments of its guests for its distinctive landscape.
As good species of trees form forests on both sides of the road leading to the hotel and there grow ground-covering plants, the area is always filled with clear and fresh air.
Different species of flowers are in full bloom on flower beds built in a distinctive style on the walls of its façade and a good assortment of ever-green ornamental plants grow in large-sized flowerpots.
Guests say that all these add youthful vigour and refreshing taste to the hotel.
There is a park which covers a large area near an outdoor wading pool. Its landscaping is also special.
Built in tiers, the park has hundreds of good species of trees including apricot, gingko, elm and bamboo, and carps swim leisurely in a not-so-big artificial pond.
There are stone lanterns made of elaborately-trimmed granites, sculptures, chairs made of timber in resting places, rocks in different shapes, artificial waterfalls, flower beds and open-air barbecue sections which were built by putting a wooden roof on four pillars. The park makes visitors feel idyllic feelings to the full.
According to deputy manageress Ri Hye Ok, the park was originally a low hill where there were rocks and low trees.
Employees made a plan to create nature-friendly and beautiful landscape there and buckled down to that.
They focused on making all elements and their combination preserve natural beauty and national characteristics as they explored the ways to plant trees with different heights, plant flowering plants and shrubs in tiers to produce an effect of solidity and lay out green areas, rocks, artificial waterfalls and ponds, lattice hedges and specially-designed wooden flower beds.
“Many guests come to stay at the hotel, lured by unusual interest that can only be felt here,” said the deputy manageress.
