More and more cultural and leisure facilities are being built in Pyongyang and other parts of the country.
Recently, sports parks have been created on Unha and Kumnan islets in the Pothong River flowing across the capital city.
Courts for volleyball, tennis and badminton, a table tennis house, a restaurant and other service facilities have been built on Unha Islet, while outside sports grounds, including basketball, badminton and volleyball courts, and a Korean wrestling site were put up on Kumnan Islet.
Now in the midst of spring, the sports parks are surrounded by various trees and flowering shrubs adding beauty to the landscape of the Pothong River.
In the evening, street lamps and characteristic neon lights unfold a fascinating night scene.
Attendants said that an increasing number of people are coming to the parks every day though it has been only a few days since they opened, adding that the islets seem to have become more beautiful as they are resounding with people’s laughter.
