Pubyok Pavilion

The Pubyok Pavilion (Korean: 부벽루) is located on Moran Hill, in Pyongyang, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

According to Naenara: "The pavilion blends well with beautiful landscape around Moran Hill, and the moon viewed from Pubyok Pavilion is noted as one of the eight beautiful sights of Pyongyang”, particularly when the sun sets over the hills and the moon rises high in the sky.

The beauty of the area inspired Kim Hwang-won a famous poet of the Goryeo period, to partially compose a poem about the scenery: "The foot of the moss-grown old rampart/Is washed by blue streams./Dawn is breaking over the vast fields/And the rows of mountains."

Legend says he was unable to find the words to properly describe the beauty of the view, and threw away his writing brush in disgust.

[3] The pavilion measures 14.58 m by 7.68 m. The creeper-patterned board on top of the first cornice on a pillar supporting a beam looks similar to a wood carving.

The Pavilion marked with an orange circle. Located near the Taedong River, in the Moranbong Park.
