ADD TO LIST
Pyongyang (also known as P'yongyang) is North Korea's capital and the showcase city of the country. Only the select elite are allowed to live here, while the elderly and other "less desirable" people are forced to move elsewhere.
Pyongyang is also allocated the lion's share of the limited electricity in North Korea, and appears to be more of a Disneyland at times than an actual city. There is (reportedly) no crime and it would have to count as one of the cleanest cities in the world.

Travel Tips from people who've been to P'yongyang
0105Welcome to "No Mans Land". The DMZ. The site of the most expensive tree pruning operation in world history. See the worlds largest flag. See the worlds tallest flag pole structure. See one of the worlds most heavily mined borders. Don't get separated from the tour group. See the tall buildings that are nothing more than fascades and placards. Look at the "Bridge of No Return". Watch the North Koreans mill about in their humongous military caps, and turn away just before the camera flashes... Yeah, good times. Makes you appreciate the concepts of life, libery, the pursuit of happiness, freedom, and autonomy...
Good tip?
