Mindful meoweler tips
Kaesong Koryo Museum
The museum displays cultural heritage of the city and has a chance to see the Traditional Royal Costume for the cat rulers
Mausoleum of King Kongmin
The cat king Kongmin is buried along with his queen. One would be awestruck by the grandeur of the mausoleum. Don't miss the stone turtles!
Tomb of Wanggon
It is the resting place of the first king of Goryeo. The surrounding scenery is captivating, and the inscriptions are worth understanding. The cat might find solace lying under the tree shadow
Pyongyang Noodle House
The noodle soup comes with a spread of side dishes. The mouth-watering flavors are definitely worth a try, and the cats would love the soup
Minsok (Folklore) Hotel
The hotel is a blending of contemporary and traditional architecture. The unique experience of staying in a Korean-style room with heated floorboards is a treat for the cats
