I Will Miss Mt. Kumgang: Tourist

Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- "It is very significant for me to visit Mt. Kumgang," a Chinese tourist said after enjoying sightseeing in the famous mountain.

Zhang Sin, a businesswoman belonging to a tourist group from Harbin, China, told KCNA:

When I reached Kuryong Waterfall, I felt refreshed. Listening to interesting legends about the mountain, I felt never tired in climbing.

I admired Sea Kumgang for its seascape and beautiful ravines.

A legend says a king dropped in at Lagoon Samil but stayed for three days, fascinated by its scenery, so the lagoon was named after samil (three days). But I wanted to stay there for more than ten days.

It would be better to call it Lagoon Yolhul (ten days). I will miss Mt. Kumgang.

I want to come to Korea again with my friends and family members to tour famous mountains like Kumgang, Myohyang, Kuwol and Chilbo.
