North Korea’s newest symbol of national pride and “single-minded unity”, the ski resort at Masik Pass, nestled deep in North Korea’s eastern mountains, is an impressive site. It has 10 ski runs, from beginning to advanced, a well-equipped rental shop, and a 250-room, eight-story hotel for foreigners alongside a 150-room hotel for Koreans. There’s a deluxe swimming pool, lifts up to the top of scenic Taehwa Peak, an underground parking area and a helipad for VIPs or medical emergencies. (Photo by Vincent Yu/AP Photo)
