Established in 1947, this expansive studio sprawls across more than one million square meters, featuring meticulously crafted streets and buildings that transport visitors through various eras and locations, including Ancient Korea, China, 1950s South Korea, Europe, and Japan. Whether you're a traveler from afar or a local North Korean, you'll have the opportunity to don film costumes and witness snippets of contemporary DPRK cinema during your visit. The studio primarily revolves around two key themes: the anti-Japanese struggle and the anti-American war. The heart of the complex consists of an extensive array of office buildings where postproduction work presumably takes place. A brief ascent leads you to the grandiose sets, offering a glimpse into a bygone era with a generic ancient Korean town fit for historical films (complete with the chance to dress up as royalty and pose on a leopard-skin-adorned 'throne'), a 1930s Chinese street, a Japanese street, a South Korean street, and an eclectic mix of 'European' architectural structures.
