The North Korean border city of Sinuiju now has its own replica of Pyongyang’s Kim Il Sung Square to use for mass rallies and possibly even a military parade, according to NK News analysis of state media and satellite imagery.
The new parade grounds appear to be modeled after the one in Pyongyang, featuring a replica of the Grand People’s Study House, distinct propaganda signs identical to those in Kim Il Sung Square and a similar ornate marble and gold viewing platform for officials. However, the square is smaller than Pyongyang’s and has a different layout.
