Ryongchon Mineral Water
Pyongyang, February 25 (KCNA) -- Cozy spring water houses nestling at the foot of Mt. Kyongam in the western part of the DPRK serve tasty and germ-free spring water.

Those who cooked rice, soup and dishes with this water cured their stomach trouble and their number is on the steady increase.

This water was called the Ryongchon mineral water in the olden days.

Not only villagers but passers-by drank this water.

Later the spring changed its course, leaving the spa deserted and only children used to catch salamanders there. The spa finally disappeared.

President Kim Il Sung, who always orientated his thinking and practice to the people's happiness, took notice of a line reading that Rim Kkyok Jong cured his stomach trouble with Ryongchon mineral water. He made sure that this water was found.

The mineral water on Mt. Kyongam was finally confirmed to be the Ryongchon mineral water.
