Geumsusan Memorial Palace
The Geumsusan Memorial Park, originally known as Kumsusan Memorial, is located in the northeastern region of the country. It is also known as the Kim I-sung Mausoleum and is home to the Kim Il-sung Mausoleum, which is an excellent destination to learn more about North Korean history. If you haven't visited the area before, you should definitely do so.
First and foremost, you must dress appropriately. Despite its small size, the palace is revered as a hallowed location. Visitors are supposed to be courteous as a result, bowing regularly and being silent throughout their visit. Visitors should dress conservatively and elegantly, unlike in other parts of North Korea. Shorts or blue jeans, as well as flip-flops or sandals, are not permitted.
The tomb of Kim I-sung can be visited. There are unique rules for visiting this shrine that is not applicable to other parts of the country. Because the restrictions for visiting this shrine differ from those in other parts of the country, it's critical to pay attention to the tour guide and follow their directions. In addition, when exploring the memorial, you should always stay with your tour group. It's best to stick together.
