Night is as bright as day at the Amusement Park of Kaeson Youth Park at the foot of Moran Hill covered with all kinds of flowers and everyone roars with laughter.

Stillness is not a word fit for the amusement park full of youthfulness and ecstasy as a leisure centre for the people filled with optimism since the place rocks with laughter and is all light.

The entire park looks as if moving for the continuous movement and rapid rotation of amusement facilities with decorative illuminations.

Among them are Boat Swing cutting its way through the night sky and Power Surge and Volare going round at a high speed making riders confuse the sky and the ground.

Sky Drop is visible even from afar and everyone wants to try it but is hesitant to ride.

After a light signal sounds, the ride goes up gradually and the riders look smaller, while the viewers on the ground feel giddy at the sight which arouses both curiosity and fear. Some riders scream with their eyes shut, waiting for the time of sudden drop. And when the machine drops, the riders yell in excitement since they feel as if they fall down into a bottomless pit.

But such fear disappears in a moment as riders are filled with joy and excitement once they are on the ride along with other people.

The young men trying to show off their strength in the hitting power measuring game elicit laughter, while the boys trying hard to push down the arm-wrestling facility with the whole body look very sweet.

Many visitors snap the slices of their pleasant and happy life in the park.

“I feel as if I were ten years younger here. We are living in a really excellent era when we get younger along with Pyongyang changing and getting younger with each passing day,” said an old man who came to the park with his grandchildren.
