Yonggwang Metro Station - 영광역
Yŏnggwang station is a metro station on the Mangyongdae Line of the Pyongyang Metro. Before the rules were relaxed in 2010, it was one of the only two stations that tourists could visit, the other one being Puhung station, because these two stations are the most finely decorated in the system. They were also the last two to be completed. The station features murals on either side of the tunnel, 80 metres (260 ft) long each. A third mosaic mural is called Lake Chon on Mt. Paektu.
