The scenery of the Taedong River in Pyongyang is getting lovelier day after day in the balmy spring season.

People feel refreshing as they see its clear and blue water and the fresh verdure of willow trees on both banks and find it gratifying to see various styles and shapes of modern structures lining the riverside like a folding screen, big and small pleasure boats, floating restaurants and dancing fountains.

The riverside in spring is more conspicuous for the sights of wedding ceremonies.

It is customary for wedding couples to have photos taken in the picturesque riverside since they can enjoy the ever-changing view of Pyongyang along with the beauty of nature. 

Moreover, the wedding service on general-service ship Mujigae, floating restaurant Taedonggang and excursion ship Pyongyang No. 1 draw the special interest of young men and women.

The wedding on the Mujigae wins popularity among them partly for the application of a high level of formative arts and artistic techniques to the inside and outside of the ship and mainly because it was visited by the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un.

The excursion ship Pyongyang No. 1 is widely known to the people along with the Korean feature film “People Who Met on the Taedong River”.

The looks of Pyongyang they can have through monumental structures lining the Taedong riverside along with the beautiful vernal scenery of Chongnyu Cliff in the cooling breeze from the river inspire love for the capital city into wedding couples and guests.

The wedding service aboard those ships is also popular for the special tastes of foods, especially the slices of raw carp and Ryongjong fish.

The distinctive wedding on the riverside instils love for the capital city into the young people who were born and grew up in Pyongyang.
