South Korea: North Korea, a country ruled by dictator Kim Jong, often remains a topic of discussion regarding the strange and poor laws there. This country has many secrets in itself. A similar law is also there in the hotels here. Usually you can visit every floor of a hotel or book your room. But anyone is forbidden to go to the fifth floor of a hotel in North Korea.
Was ready in 6 years
There is a hotel named Yangkado in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. This hotel is the largest hotel in North Korea as well as the seventh or eighth tallest building here. This hotel is built on Yangak Island (island) located in the middle of the Taedong River. Yangkado Hotel is 47 storeys, with a total of 1000 rooms. The rent of a room in this luxury hotel is around 25 thousand rupees. It started being built in the year 1986 and was completed in 1992. In the year 1996, the doors of this hotel were opened for the common people.
no number 5 button in lift
The most surprising thing related to Yangkado Hotel is that there is no button for the fifth floor in its lift. That is, people can go to any of the rest of the floors, but cannot go to the fifth floor. There are very strict and strict rules in North Korea regarding this, according to which if a foreign citizen goes to the fifth floor, he may have to rot in the jail here forever.
When the American student reached the 5th floor
It was in the year 2016 when an American student named Otto Warmbier moved to the fifth floor of the Yangkado Hotel. Then the North Korean police immediately took him into custody. It was alleged that he had uprooted a poster on the fifth floor of the hotel. After this Otto Warmbier was put on trial and he was sentenced to 15 years in prison. He was also tortured a lot during interrogation. Although he was later released, Otto Warmbier fell into a coma after returning to the US and died in June 2017.
Anti-American paintings on hotel walls
Calvin Sun, another American citizen who stayed at the Yangkado Hotel, says that on the fifth floor of the hotel small rooms have been made like a bunker and most of the rooms are locked. There are anti-American and anti-Japanese paintings on the walls of the rooms. Some of these pictures are also of Kim Jong Un’s father Kim Jong Il. It is said that on every painting made there, ‘Everything made in America is our enemy, we will take revenge from America a thousand times’ is written.
What does the government believe?
The most surprising thing is that the government of North Korea believes that there is no fifth floor in Yangkado Hotel. Now the claim of the people who have gone there and the claim of the government of North Korea give birth to a mystery in itself. People get confused after hearing these claims as to who is telling the truth.
