Moranbong-guyŏk, or the Moranbong District, is one of the 19 guyŏk which constitute the city of Pyongyang, North Korea. It is located north of Chung-guyok, the city's central district, and is bordered to the north by Sosong and Taesong-guyoks, to the east by the Taedong River, and the west by the Potong River and Potonggang-guyok. It is named after Moran Hill located in the district's west area ("Moran" means peony). It was designated a guyŏk in October 1960 by the Pyongyang City People's Committee.

Overview

A large part of the district is taken up by the Moranbong Park, Pyongyang's largest recreation area. The park contains many significant historic relics, including vestiges of the old Pyongyang Castle walls and various ornamental pavilions [1]. The district is also home to the Kim Il-sung Stadium, built during the Japanese occupation period and the site of Kim's first speech after the liberation of Pyongyang. The Pyongyang Arch of Triumph, the world's largest such arch, is also located in the district.

Transport

The Pyongyang Metro runs through this district, with stops at Tongil, Kaeson, Chonu, and Chonsung Stations.[2]

It is connected to Rungra Island and Taedonggang-guyŏk (on the Taedong's left bank) by the Rungra Bridge.[3]

Administrative divisions

Moranbong-guyok is divided into fifteen administrative districts known as dong. The largest neighborhoods (Inhung, Pipa, and Kinmaul) are further divided in two parts for administrative purposes.[4]
