The Phungnyon Tower at the Phungnyon Village bringing the feeling of rich harvest is a stalagmite like grain stack. In front of the tower are a "female farmer" taking an ear of corn in her hand and stalagmites such as ears of millets and kaoliangs hanging under eaves. The scenery of the Sokhwa Village representing the snow scene, ornamented with white frost flowers, is also arousing the administration of all people. There are in the Ansim Cave a "seagull' of Mt Chilbo, a famous mountain in the East Sea, that is unable to leave for the ecstasy and a "peacock" seen as if it folds its beautiful wings. The Ryongyon Cave where "ever-agarics" grow delicious-looking and the Jangsok Village where long and wide rocks layer like visors add beauty to the mysterious Ryongmun Carven. The Ryongmun Cavern with the fantastic scenery has been spruced up under the care of the Workers' Party of Korea, contributing to the cultural and emotional life of the people.
