Pyongyang, North Korea |
The Manyongdae Children's Palace (not to be confused with the Pyongyang Students and Children's Palace in downtown Pyongyang) is a showy building where the Stalinist state shows off its best and brightest. It's meant to give the impression that all of North Korea's children are fit and trim, amuse themselves with culture, and play the violin at age 5. Tours of the building are part-and-parcel of the standard travel package to North Korea.
