Mangyongdae-guyok


Man'gyŏngdae-guyŏk or Man'gyŏngdae District is one of the 18 guyŏk that constitute P'yŏngyang, North Korea. It began as a village called Man'gyŏngdae-ri in South P'yŏngan Province before becoming a district of P'yŏngyang in September 1959. The area is surrounded by several hills, the highest one named because one can enjoy a bird's-eye view of the surrounding scenic landscape, and the village at its foot is called Man'gyŏngdae. Man'gyŏngdae was the birthplace of North Korean leader Kim Il Sung.
Man'gyŏngdae-guyŏk extends to the west past the Sunhwa River, to Kangso-gun. Kwangbok Street is a residential district of high rise apartments populated by members of the DPRK media and cultural institutions.
