Before the rules were relaxed in 2010, it was one of the only two stations that tourists could visit, the other one being Puhung station, because these two stations are the most finely decorated in the system. They were also the last two to be completed.[4][5] The station features murals on either side of the tunnel, 80 metres (260 ft) long each.[4]
Connections
The station is located near P'yŏngyang station of the Korean State Railway, with connections to long-distance trains on the P'yŏngnam, P'yŏngra, and P'yŏngŭi Lines.
