Mt. Myohyang located in the northwestern part of the DPRK is one of the celebrated mountains. It is famous for its superb scenery. It sprawls over 375km2 and runs well over a hundred kilometres in circumference, unfolding diverse, magnificent and splendid landscape. It boasts a myriad of oddly shaped peaks and rocks including Hyangbiro Peak rising 1 909m above sea level, deep ravines and high cliffs, crystal-clear water and waterfalls, and dense forests, graced by lovely fragrance of flowers, lush foliage in summer, autumnal tints, snowscape in winter, birds' twitter and murmur of streams. The valleys of Sangwon, Manphok, Chonthae and Chilsong and the Hyangbiro Peak area are the most attractive. The Sangwon Valley named after the Sangwon Hermitage that sits at an altitude of some 500m on the mountainside is a key attraction for its unusual and dense scenic spots as it is surrounded by thick forests, waterfalls and pools on gigantic rocks, mysteriously-shaped rocks and peaks, and historical sites such as the Pulyong Hermitage and Chuksong Temple. In addition, there are the International Friendship Exhibition House, Myohyangsan History Museum, Pyongyang Municipal Myohyangsan Children’s Mountaineering Camp, and Hyangsan Hotel. Tourists can climb along the safe paths up the Sangwon and Manphok valleys and Hyangbiro Peak, having a break at rest places and pavilions. The mountain draws numerous tourists every year.
