＜Super-telephoto Lens Report> One Year After Floods, What Does the Site Look Like Now? (2) Brightly Lit at Night, with Corn and Laundry on Balconies... Signs of Life Can Be Felt (9 Photos)

◆Showing Off with Exterior Illumination

Although North Korea still suffers from serious power shortages, only this reconstruction apartment area has interior lights on at night and even exterior walls illuminated. It was much brighter than Sinuiju located slightly downstream, clearly showing that electricity is being supplied preferentially. It was clearly aimed to show off the modern new apartments to the outside world.

Reconstruction apartment complex lit up as if showing off to the Chinese side of the border. Beautifully reflected on the Yalu River surface.
Even exterior walls are brightly illuminated. In the third-floor left window, the figure of a woman who appears to be cooking.
