A really cool "adventure park" for smaller kids up to 10 years age.

That dude does not know how to ride a bike!

Yer supposed to sit down and pedal. He has it upside down! Someone needs to teach him to ride.

Most people say it's ugly, and was too ugly to finish so it's sat abandoned for years. That, and it's in North Korea, visit at your own risk.

My theory is that the state architect was a fan of the post modern movement which often featured tiny square windows. Then he combined the concept of a "mountain" with it, and was executed before he could finish the drawings. Just a theory.

In this Sept. 23, 2012 photo released by Koryo Group on Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2012, a visitor, center left, stands on the ground floor of the 105-story Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea. After years of standing unfinished, construction on the exterior of the massive hotel resumed three years ago but the hotel has not yet opened to the public. This photo taken by the Beijing-based Koryo Tours shows that the interior remains unfinished. Credit: AP
