In his speech at the inauguration ceremony of regional-industry factories in Songchon County for the Regional Development 20×10 Policy in December last year, the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un stressed the need for the county to sustain its peculiar features and tap its potentialities and make the most of its traffic advantages to effectively develop and utilize such local resources for cultural tourism as the shores of the Piryu River and the Songchon Hot Spring.
Songchon County is now taking practical measures to develop and utilize the hot spring as local resources for cultural tourism.
