People in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea enjoyed the day pleasantly, delighted with the recent successful third nuclear test.

Restaurants throughout the country, including Okryu and Chongryu restaurants in Pyongyang and Sinhung Restaurant in Hamhung, served varieties of special national dishes.

People took noodles and dishes made of nine kinds of dried edible herbs, while playing such folklore amusement games as Korean chess and yut-game with family members, relatives and neighbors.

As it is getting dark, citizens are seen enjoying the first full moon on Moran Hill and banks of the River Taedong in Pyongyang, Inphung Pavilion in Kanggye, Yaksandongdae in Nyongbyon and other scenic spots of the country.

Kim Nam Sik, a 54-year-old man who climbed Moran Hill to see the full moon, told KCNA:

"From olden times, the Koreans would tell their desire for the year to the first full moon, wishing that their desire would come into reality.

It is my desire that the DPRK, a satellite manufacturing and launching state and a full-fledged nuclear state, always remains as a powerful nation any other countries dare not provoke."
