The DPRK is home to around 200 so-called 'National Treasures' linking back to Korea's ancient past. From coastal royal palaces to stone carved buddhas hidden in the mountains. Each of these treasures tells a story of a time gone by.
In this video, we look through the history of some cherry-picked historical artifacts; the Pohyonsa Buddhist Temple, an operational buddhist monastery stretching back to the Koryo Dynasty. The Tomb of King Kongmin, the resting place of a monarch and his Mongolian Princess bride. And the Pukkwan Victory Monument, the newest addition to the list of national treasures.
