Kim Jong Un,  chairman of the Workers' Party of  Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission  of the  Democratic People's Republic  of Korea  and supreme commander of  the Korean People's  Army, with  his wife  Ri Sol Ju  inspected the Wonsan-Kalma coastal tourist area under construction.

Looking at the general layout of the Wonsan-Kalma coastal tourist area, he was informed  of  progress  in  its  construction project  and  went  round  the  overall construction site,  including a hotel,  lodging quarters  with cooking  facilities, and service facilities, to acquaint himself in detail with them.

Noting that buildings  look separated and are  little different from each  other in height, he  gave instructions  to make  the height  of the  buildings different,  plan more  hotels  and service  buildings  of  30  and 25  storeys  and  ensure  that the connection between buildings is more harmonious and peculiar, so as to polish the overall street layout in an artistic way.

Highlighting the need to conduct well the afforestation and greening of the area, he talked about making  a nice design for afforestation on  the principle that trees of good species are planted to  suit the surrounding ecological environment of the coast and doing the work of greening according to the plan.

He pointed out  that efforts should  be made to construct  infrastructural facility net in a qualitative way and that the construction should become a standard.

Looking at the artificial ponds to  which sea water was pumped, he said that the ponds should  be well made  to fit the  surrounding environment  and look natural, adding that  the people  will be pleased  if angling  sites and service  facilities are placed around the ponds.

He also gave instructions to provide all of necessary conditions, including first- aid stations at the sections of sea-bathing on the white sandy shore.

It is the Party's long-cherished idea and his long-desired job to build wonderful recreational resorts  on the scenic and  beautiful shores of  our country to  let the people enjoy  themselves to  the full, he  said, adding  that now it  will soon  come true.

Such a  huge and grand creation  campaign as the  construction of the  Wonsan- Kalma coastal tourist area  is an acute standoff with hostile forces  trying to stifle the  Korean  people  through   brigandish  sanctions  and  blockade,  a   do-or-die struggle  to  defend  the  prestige  of  the  Party  and  a  worthwhile  struggle  for creating the happiness of  the people, he said, and stated  that if such magnificent project of large scale  is completed surpassing the world's advanced level  at such a difficult time as now, the strength of the single-minded unity of the Party, army and people will be displayed to the whole world once again and  the coastal tourist area will be a very nice gift to our people.

He called upon everybody to build the sea park without an equal in the world by keeping fortitude and strong courage and  present it to the people as a gift on  the occasion of Oct. 10 next year.

Saying  with a  big  smile on  his  face that  Myongsasipri  (4-kilomter beautiful sand) is  likely to become  Inphasipri (4-kilometer tide  of people),  he pictured to himself  the  appearance  of  the  greatly  excited  people  and  school  youth  and children who  will  enjoy the  new civilization  of our  times  to the  full under  the benevolent care of the Party.

Accompanying him were Army General Kim Su  Gil, director of the KPA General Political  Bureau, Hwang  Pyong  So, first  vice  department  director of  the  C.C., WPK, Jo Yong Won,  O Il Jong and Kim Yong Su,  vice department directors of the C.C., WPK, Kim Chang Son,  department director of the State Affairs Commission,

and Ma Won Chun, director of the SAC.

Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un Visits Hot Spring Area in Yangdok County

Kim Jong Un,  chairman of the Workers' Party of  Korea, chairman of the State Affairs Commission  of the  Democratic People's  Republic of Korea  and supreme commander of the  Korean People's Army, gave  field guidance to hot  spring area in Yangdok County, South Phyongan Province.

The  respected  Supreme Leader  of  the  party,  state and  army  Kim  Jong  Un learned about the operation of sanatoria  and hot spring resorts in hot spring  area from Chairman Kang  Il Gyong and officials of  the Yangdok County Committee  of the WPK.

He  said there  are  a lot  of  hot spring  resources  renowned for  the  beautiful surrounding scenery  and enormous efficacy  for health and  medical treatment of people in different  parts of our country  but there is no excellent  health complex that  has  been  built  properly  in  terms of  sanitation  and  cultured  practice  as befitting  recreational and  recuperative  facilities.  He added  that  at  the end  of several days of  consideration, he chose  hot spring area  of Yangdok County that has been appreciated as one of advantageous areas  in this aspect, and is going to make field survey and build one excellent service facility.

Yangdok County neighbors a number of counties and ris as it is in the middle of the  east-west railways  and  borders four  provinces,  he said,  adding  one  good point is the traffic convenience with Pyongyang-Wonsan Highway nearby.

As high temperature hot  springs rich in sulphur content  and extremely small in radon content,  the hot springs in  Yangdok County have  been estimated not  only as the ones  with considerable annual yield  and high pharmacological  actions and treatment efficacy but also  as pollution-free hot springs as they do  not have any ammonium, nitrous  acid,  nitrogen ion  and pathogenic  microorganisms,  pollution estimation indices, he said, adding that a plan is to develop  wonderful all-purpose recuperation and recreational resort in the area.

Going round  hot spring  valleys in  Onjong-ri area  of Yangdok  County despite high and low  mountain ranges and  steep passes, he learned about  the amount of hot spring water gushing out and environment around them.

Yangdok  County is  the  right place  for  building hot  spring  health resort  and sanatoria for  its high  mountain lush  with fresh  verdure, clean  air and  beautiful scenery, he said,  personally setting the site  for building a general hotel.  He also instructed to build all kinds of modern health complexes that offer all kinds of hot spring bath services including individual hot spring bath,  public hot spring bath as well as indoor bath and outdoor hot spring bath in the area.

Along  with  the  construction   of  modern  health  resort  and  sanatoria,   it  is necessary to  build  peculiar hot  spring health  resort village  in  the mountainous area as the organic combination of  low-storey and single-storey dwelling houses in the area, he said.

He also  urged to build  railway station characteristic  of a mountainous  railway station and ensure quality of  roads to be paved so that visitors to  the hot springs might not feel any inconvenience in traveling.

He  underscored  the  need   to  give  precedence  to  improving  the   land  and environment  around  the  hot  spring  area and  the  need  to  channel  efforts  to afforestation.

He said  that by face-lifting the  hot spring area  in Yangdok County  associated with the revolutionary history of President  Kim Il Sung as a monumental edifice, we  have   to  glorify  generation   after  generation  the   leadership  exploits   of President Kim Il Sung   and leader  Kim Jong Il  who  built the  genuine people's Republic and enforced unprecedented popular policies.

Saying that  he feels relieved at  his decision to  entrust the People's Army,  the main force  of the  revolution and  shock brigade  in building  a powerful  socialist country, with the project that has long been developed by the Party for the people, he  noted  with  trust  that  the  People's  Army  should  certainly  live  up  to  the expectations of the Party.

He was accompanied by Army General  Kim Su Gil, director of the KPA  General Political  Bureau, Hwang  Pyong  So, first  vice  department director  of  the WPK Central Committee,  Jo Yong  Won, O  Il Jong and  Kim Yong  Su, vice  department directors of the WPK  Central Committee, Kim Chang Son,  department director of the State Affairs Commission (SAC), and Ma Won Chun, director of the SAC.
