On the shore of Lake Yonphung, a scenic spot of the DPRK, is a holiday camp.
It is the Yonphung Scientists Holiday Camp, which was built under the guidance of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un . He visited the place to select the site of the camp and took all measures for its construction.
Camp buildings and service buildings, connected by a long access corridor with unique beauty, blend well with the green forests nearby.
Passages in the camp compound are paved with dark green pebbles.
The head of the camp says that those pebbles are very good for health, adding that they are associated with the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un ’s care for the scientists and that everything necessary for the scientists’ camping is provided at state expense.
Occupying an area of more than 119 000 square metres with a total floor space of over 10 000 square metres, the Yonphung Scientists Holiday Camp has nine camp buildings, a general service centre, outdoor playground, beach volleyball court, indoor and outdoor wading pools, boating ground, resting places, pavilion and all other conditions and environment for holiday-making.
Scientists’ camping begins with a welcome party.
They spend camping days playing volleyball, tennis, table tennis and others.
The outdoor playground has courts for volleyball, badminton and tennis, and the tennis court is turned into a skating rink in winter.
Most interesting for the campers is boating.
Rowing a boat on the lake is a pleasurable pastime, but more exciting are cruising the beautiful Lake Yonphung and enjoying pulgogi (Korean-style barbecue), campers say.
When they leave the camp, they promise the camp staff that they will come again after achiving greater successes in their work.
While spending merry days at the excellent holiday camp, scientists feel keenly that they are the most blessed in the world.
Lake Yonphung becomes more famous throughout the country for the holiday camp for scientists.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Yonphung Scientists Holiday Camp.
