Chinese Tourists Tour Mt. Kumgang

Pyongyang, November 7 (KCNA) -- Mt. Kumgang, a world-famous tourist resort, draws many people in autumn season.

On Saturday the trial Harbin-Mt. Kumgang tourist group that came by chartered flight did sightseeing in the celebrated mountain.

The tourist group's first destination was Kuryong Pond.

The tourists admired peaks glowing with autumn tints, fantastic cliffs, deep valleys and crystal-clear water.

Kuryong Waterfall, one of the four famous waterfalls in the mountain, presented a spectacular sight with its clear water cascading tens of meters down along a cliff.

The tourists were fascinated by the sound and spray of the waterfall, the high torrent and a rainbow.

In the afternoon they toured Singye Temple, one of the four famous temples in the mountain, Sea Kumgang and Lagoon Samil.

They then enjoyed themselves in Onjong Pavilion.

Some of them told KCNA that Mt. Kumgang was really beautiful and that they wanted to come again next year with their family members.
