Seeing a snow ice sculpture depicting the Headquarters log cabin with the red flag of revolution flying above it, the bugler of advance of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army and slogans written on barked trees along with the letters “The spirit of the blizzards of Paektu” carved in relief, visitors realized once again the greatness of the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un who made a field inspection tour on horseback of the revolutionary battle sites in the Mt Paektu area to fire the whole country with enthusiasm for education in the revolutionary traditions and for revolutionary mental training.
