After about a 3 hour drive Northeast of Pyongyang, and as you meander your way up along the beautiful crystalline waters of the Chongchon River. through pine trees a tall, pyramid, sci-fi looking structure will appear in sight. Welcome to the Hyangsan Hotel! But it wasn’t always so swanky...Back in the days, the Hyangsan Hotel was a low budget hotel. 
Its retro decoration, architecture and location in the middle of apparently nowhere but close to two enormous windowless buildings permanently guarded by soldiers holding silver AKs and built inside a mountain housing hundreds of thousands gifts that include signed basketballs, bullet proof cars, trains and a plane, made it look like straight out of a 1970s James Bond movie.
