The 500-odd-year old white pine tree in Kaesong is 18 metres tall, 4 metres round at the root neck, 5.5 metres round at the chest height and 21 metres wide at the crown. Four branches grow out from the main trunk at the height of two metres. They are about 1.8 metres round respectively. They spread lots of branches upwards to form a crown in the shape of an umbrella. As the oldest one of similar trees growing in the DPRK, it is of great academic significance. The Pyongyang Times, launched on May 6, 1965, is the DPRK's only English newspaper. It gives latest, detailed information about what is going on in the country in politics, the economy, culture and other sectors. And the paper also provides a vast knowledge of the nooks and crannies of Pyongyang.
