Concluding the North Korean tour
Review: Before this book came out
I'm writing again for the readers of the book.

The fourth volume of the travelogue, "The Day in Pyongyang Has Cleared," focuses on the travel to Pyongyang, Myohyangsan, and other parts of the Gwanseo region, and is divided into four parts.
Part 1, "Pyongyang Taedonggang," presents explanations of Pyongyang's representative cultural heritage sites and artists, including the Taedonggang River, Jeong Ji-sang, Pubyokru and Kim Hwang-won, Eulmildae and Kim Dong-in, along with a sense of nostalgia.
Part 2, "From Dolmens to Modern Art," includes a tour of the dolmens of the Pyongyang area, including the Black Moru Cave in Sangwon, where the first humans lived on the Korean Peninsula, and where 14,000 dolmens are said to be gathered, as well as a visit to the Korean Central History Museum, the Korean Art Museum, and the Pyongyang Handicraft Research Institute.
It is also a useful read to understand the issue of Dangun's Mausoleum, where the two Koreas have differing positions, and to explore opportunities for the two Koreas to jointly develop their cultural heritage through a conversation with North Korea's leading scholar, Joo Young-heon.


Part 3, 'Myohyangsan', contains a travelogue of Myohyangsan, which Seosan Daesa praised as a 'majestic and beautiful mountain', and Part 4, 'Goguryeo Tomb Murals in Pyongyang', explains the status and value of tomb murals after visiting the Dongmyeongwangneung Tomb, Jinpari Tomb, Deokheung-ri Tomb, and Gangseo Large Tomb.
The last section of the book, 'And the Remaining Story', contains stories not included in the main text, such as Yonggok Seowon, which was visited on the last day of the field trip, the women he met in the North, his feelings about the field trip to North Korea with Go Eun and Kim Ju-young, and North Korean local food.
Unlike other travelogues about North Korea, Yu Hong-jun's travelogue on North Korea does not feature the country's most famous landmarks, such as Pyongyang Mountain Garden, Mangyongdae Students' and Children's Palace, or the International Friendship Exhibition Hall.
Instead of such flashy images, the author captured the everyday aspects of North Korea he encountered, such as the shy smile of a flight attendant bragging about her hometown on the plane, the corn stalks farmers placed on dolmens, and the jokes exchanged with the guides.
That is why, after closing the book, the cultural heritage of North Korea and the innocence of its people remain vividly in my heart.
His travelogue of North Korea, which captures the “expressions of everyday life,” can be said to be a “symbol of a unified national culture.”
