Right opposite Kim Il Sung Square is the Juche Tower (主體思想塔), which is situated on the west bank of Taedong River. Named after the Juche ideology introduced by Kim Il Sung, the Tower is a tall pagoda commemorating the seventieth birthday of Kim Il Sung. Visitors can go to the top of the Tower for a breathtaking panorama of Pyongyang.
Mansu Hill is another tourist spot, which is essentially an immense open space consisting of a complex of monuments. These include two gigantic bronze statues situated right in the centre of the open area, featuring two deceased leaders of the country, namely Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
Opposite to Mansu Hill is the Monument of Party Founding. It celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Workers’ Party of Korea in 1995, and is rich in symbolism, with a hammer, a sickle, and a calligraphy brush representing industrial workers, farmers, and intellectuals respectively. Two buildings resembling red flags are situated next to the Monument.
Geumsusan Taeyang Gungjeon (錦繡山太陽宮), the tomb of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, is a must-go site for tourists. To pay respect to the deceased leaders, people, both foreigners and locals alike, are required to wear formal attire upon entering the tomb. They are required to be quiet and humble in front of the late leaders.
