Chongsokjong, Scenic Spot in DPRK

Chongsokjong is on the seashore in the township of Thongchon County, Kangwon Province.

The scenic spot adjoins the East Sea of Korea in the east and north, with Thongchon township in the west and paddy fields in the south.

It was formed as basaltic lava pushed out of the earth’s surface by volcanic action cooled down and condensed to be divided into hexagonal or octagonal columns and they were later exposed to seawater and rainy storm for ages. Therefore, hexagonal or octagonal basaltic columns are scattered in the 1km-long section along the shore.

The stone columns stand in the crystal-clear seawater in groups or separately, presenting queer and mysterious scenes. A legend has it that skilled stonemasons processed the rocks for a long period of time and erected them in clusters or in groups.

Chongsokjong and the islets and coastal area in its vicinity are all covered with rocky cliffs. Oddly-shaped rocks, pine trees growing in the crevices of the rocks and blue waves add beauty to the coastline.

Sunrise over Chongsokjong and its silvery moonlit views are quite spectacular.

The stone columns and cliffs are home to petrels and murres.

The Chongsokjong area is well known as a holiday resort.
