Mont Myohyang
Forest massif bringing together ancient temple, trails and museum complex dedicated to the gifts received by the leaders.
The discovery of Mount Myohyang is structured around Temple Pohyon, International Friendship Exhibition and Manphok Valley. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, forests, heritage and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Temple
Temple Pohyon
Pohyon was founded in the 11th century in a wooded valley of Mount Myohyang and several times rebuilt after the wars. Pagodas, doors and pavilions make up one of the country's major Buddhist ensembles, presented only according to the route set for foreign visitors.
Place indismissible
Exposition internationale de l'amitié
The Exposition internationale de l'amitié In two large buildings there are gifts offered to North Korean leaders. Marble, corridors and thousands of objects build a political legitimation device; visitors follow a precise protocol and do not freely choose their route.
Place indismissible
Vallée Manphok
The Manphok Valley follows a torrent between rocks, waterfalls and forests on the slopes of the Myohyang. Several routes exist on the paper, but their actual opening, the accompaniment and the time granted depend on the permits issued to the framed groups.
