35. GUESS THIS ONE


No right clicking (because it gives it away), but it can be pretty obvious. Extra points if you can guess the name of this horse.

61. I've got it!
You said I was close so I looked up the only other major city left in the area I was looking.

The city.....Pyongyang.

And I think I found the statue too.

The Chonllima Statue stands for the heroism and invincible fighting spirit of the Korean people. It stands for their ceaseless innovations and continuous advance at the speed of Chollima, the legendary winged horse that is said to cover a thousand ri in a day. It was completed on Mansu Hill on April 15,1961.

The statue stands 46 meters high (from the surface of the pavement to the top of the Red Letter.) The cast statue is 14 meters high and 16 meters long.

Mounted on the winged horse are a worker in front and a young peasant woman behind. The worker who rushes ahead on the Chollima, holding high the "Red Letter" of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, represents the working class of Korea. The peasant woman holding a large sheaf of rice in her arms symbolizes north Korea's fast advancing peasantry.
