triumphal arch

朝鲜版的凯旋门，也是环岛中央，旁边会很多汽车经过，也不知道是不是作数给游客看的，不知道是不是巴黎那样八大干道的汇集处。是我在朝鲜看到最多汽车的地方。。。

平壤的凯旋门十分漂亮,甚至比举世闻名的巴黎凯旋门还要高大,据导游说这个凯旋门是世界同类建筑里最大的一个,采用了花岗岩结构,两边立柱上的1925和1945金色数字代表了朝鲜在金日成的带领下从光复到解放全国全面胜利的年份，凯旋门边上一眼望去可以见到一座叫牡丹峰的山,凯旋门底下的凯旋大街是平壤市区的一条主干道,一般导游会在车少的时候安排游客去到路的中央拍照留念,可惜这个建筑似乎不能像老挝万象的凯旋门那样进入到建筑顶上参观。

Very beautiful and large. It looks like the one in Paris as far as I can judge. A lot of detail in the architecture. It is on everyone's agenda whether you want to see it or not.

Bigger and more impressive than the Arch in Bucharest. Unfortunately you are not allowed to pass beneath it and to climb it. Would have been a nice view over Phoeniang!

Pretty impressive structure based on the Arch in Paris that commemorates the Koreans' struggle against the Japanese. It's worth seeing both for its historical significance and the beauty of the monument.

I haven't been to Paris to compare but as far as I know the Korean arch is bigger. It was the very first place I've visited after arriving in Pyongyang. It's also very beautiful with the night lights. You can see it in case you go to the fun fair.

I was not that impressed with the structure but have done it in a meaningful manner to convey the meaning to its people for ever. Hope they preserve all monuments built by the people for ever.

This thing is really out of place and celebrates a not well known victory on a not well known enemy but whatever! It's amazing!

that's pretty much all I can say. Perhaps very well maintained? This is another mandatory stop with an organized tour. It's there and just can't miss it.

I really did enjoy this! you must do it at both night and day. It actually makes for some great photos!

slightly bigger than the arc du trimphe another eye catching monument in the architecturally rich city of pyongyang

why lots of things and I imagine tourist wish they could at least get to walk thru it. Unfortunately most times it is under guard, why would an arch be guarded? Strange thinking in north korea. In any case it is not worth visiting,

Triumphal arches, laid end to end, look pretty similar and frankly inspire few sharp intakes of breath. It's OK, and very "archy"It is, however, on the Metro line, and you will likely get to visit it on the subway which really is fascinating.

This one is similar to the one in Paris, but 11 metres taller! I did not go up, but I did see people up the top. It celebrates the victory against the Japanese in 1945. It is on a large round about, but the traffic is usually quite light. Mainly public transport. It is near to a sports stadium and the Triumphant Arch metro station. Here is also a good spot to take photos of the Pyongyang television tower.It was built in 1982, and sadly it is another example of wasting resources when they are needed in other areas of the country.

It`s quite similar to the one in Vientiane, Lao, but the difference is - it is not allowed to climb on it`s top...so just to make couple of pictures from car, passing through, is good enough.
