The Sojang Yongmyong Shop in Pothonggang District, Pyongyang, draws a large number of visitors every day.
They say that the shop is located in a nice place but what they like more about the place is its green service environment.
There are various kinds of plants that have a high ornamental value and air purifying effect, including Queensland umbrella tree, taro, banana and lilyturf as well as tufted bracket plant which is called a “green air purifier” and aspidistra which absorbs and purifies over 80 percent of the harmful substances in the air.
“We put effort into greening the indoor environment by growing plants that are good for the health of customers,” said Pak Hyon A, manageress of the shop. “We propagated plants by ourselves and purchased rare plants, thus creating this spectacular scene.”
There are 2 000 pots planted with over 100 species of plants in the corridor and stairs of the two-storey shop.
With the light-blue indirect lighting and spotlights in more than ten colours, the pots look enchantingly beautiful.
Cactuses with thick and tall stems and leaf ornamental plants whose green foliage stretching out in all directions are placed along the hall leading to the daily necessities stands on the first and second floors, so that visitors would feel like they are guided into a forest.
The soft drink stand decorated with ivies and other species of trees reminds customers of a forest to give them a sense of comfort and security.
The bird’s nest decorations going well with the lights on the ceiling and the vines that have grown up high to cover the walls further enhance the ornamental effects of the plants placed on the floor.
According to Kim Mi Song, a staffer of the shop, they arranged briefing boards before the flowers to give visitors some common sense about the flowers.
The shop has a greenhouse on the roof, where they grow flowers.
