National Heritage Items under Good Protection

Date: 11/03/2026 | Source: Naenara (En) | Read original version at source

The DPRK is making strenuous efforts to protect its national heritage items.

Efforts are devoted to preserving the historical relics, scenic spots and natural monuments associated with the long history and brilliant culture of the country in their original state, and to finding out and removing all the elements that have negative effects on the ecological environment of the reserve areas.

In addition, projects are gathering momentum to restore the historical relics and discover and register fine intangible cultural heritage items on a nationwide scale.

Last year alone projects were completed for overhauling and colourfully painting such historical buildings as the Myongbu Hall of the Woljong Temple in Anak County of South Hwanghae Province, and 17 items including the traditional Korean martial art of Taekwon-Do were placed on the national and local intangible cultural heritage lists.

The DPRK’s celebrated mountain of Kumgang was designated as “Mount Kumgang–Diamond Mountain from the Sea” and put on the world cultural and natural heritage list at the 47th session of the World Heritage Committee of the UNESCO held in Paris in July last year.
