North Korea's, "Propaganda Village"

The North Koreans maintain this small
city (Gi Jong Dong) on the north side of the DMZ.
Built by the "North Korean Government"
for propaganda purpose, to show "South Korean" how prosperous "North Korea" was.
Recent visits in 2001 and 2002 by foreign journalist reveiled, that
the city is actually in a very poor state, with crumbling buildings and cracked foundations.
This photo was taken from Tae song dong
village in S. Korea.
