Grounds of Folk Games on the Increase [KSF - 2015/4/10]

In North Phyongan Province

A number of grounds of folk games were laid in the Mt. Myohyang area, with different facilities and instruments for chess, yut and other games.

Yomju County built a marvellous sports park last year which is equipped with facilities and instruments for various kinds of folk games.

Factories and enterprises in Sinuiju City also established the Namsang Park, a folk park, furnished with grounds for swinging, seesawing, ssirum (Korean wrestling) and archery. The park was added with a paduk (go) house recently, while a ssirum hall went up with credit in the Amnokkang Pleasure Ground.

Nyongbyon County worked out a plan for establishment of a folk game ground in the scenic spot of Yaksan, and finished it by mobilizing the county population.

Uiju County also laid a good ground for folk games. The county people erected in the vicinity of Thonggun Pavilion a good ground for the playing of ssirum, seesawing and swinging with the stand built with well-cut stones.

Phihyon and Sonchon counties also established similar centres. Kusong and Jongju cities, Tonnim, Kwaksan and other counties also admirably set up grounds of folk games equipped with all things needed
