DPRK (North Korea)
North Korea is located in eastern Asia and occupies part of the Korean Peninsula. It borders the Republic of Korea to the south, the Yellow Sea to the west and the Sea of Japan to the east. The Republic of Korea owns several small islands in the West Gulf of Korea.
Most of the peninsula is covered by low ridges and mountain plateaus, with small plains in the southwest. Coniferous and mixed forests predominate in the mountains, while the plains are farmland.
The climate in North Korea is a moderate monsoon climate. Winters are mild and snowy, summers are rainy (more than 60% of the annual precipitation falls in this period) and not very hot, there are frequent typhoons with heavy rains and violent winds in the fall, and frequent fogs in the spring. At the same time, the ratio of temperature and humidity in spring is the most comfortable and makes this season the most favorable to travel to the Land of Morning Freshness.
The thick coniferous forests that DPRK is rich in are home to leopards, tigers, deer, bears, and wolves, while cranes and herons settle by the banks of lakes and rivers. Not far from Pyeongchang are the Mohan Mountains, which are called Fragrant Mountains because of the juniper that grows there. Next to Cheongji Crater Lake, the world's highest altitude lake, there are Korean firs and elms, and lynx, spotted deer, and musk deer live in their shade.
The mountainous areas of present-day North Korea began to be inhabited in the first millennium AD. The states of Joseon, Buyeo, and Mahan originally existed here. Then Mongol tribes came to these lands, and later the Yuan Empire came to rule the peninsula. In the Middle Ages Korea was dependent on China, and at the beginning of the twentieth century it was under the protectorate of Japan. In 1945 Korea was divided into two parts. The DPRK and South Korea have not yet signed a peace treaty; there is no official border between the countries.
Korean culture is complex and diverse. Almost all national customs are based on Confucian ideas. There is great respect for elders and great love for children. There is an ideology in the country, according to which all residents must work for the benefit of the younger generation. The greeting is expressed by a half bow, the depth of which depends on the social status of the person. Many foreigners are surprised that apologies and expressions of gratitude are rare in North Korea. This is not because Koreans lack education, but rather because they do not want to embarrass their interlocutors.
