West Coast Exchange, North Korea Watcher Conference, Sept. 2026

Rimyongsu Falls is located on the shore of the Rimyong Stream, a tributary of the Amnok River in the northern border of the DPRK.

The two-tier waterfall comprises nine major currents and many small falls among them. The source of the waterfall is underground water.

The waterfall is 15 metres high and 27 metres wide, with the first tier 7 metres high and the second one 8 metres high.

In winter it is mostly frozen but some currents keep flowing through icicles. The water gushing out of the ground meets the cold air to produce mist, which covers the nearby trees with hoarfrost–an exceptional spectacle of falls in winter.

The waterfall composed of an array of falls unfolds a rare scene going well with the black rocks exposed through the currents, the crystal-clear lake below it, and the surrounding forests.

Azaleas in spring, green foliage in summer and scarlet-tinged tree leaves in autumn add more to the beauty of the waterfall. On clear days the sun casts a wonderful rainbow through the spray from the waterfall.

The waterfall is of academic significance as the falls of underground water and adds more to the surrounding landscape. It is on the list of the national natural monuments.
