SEOUL, July 01 (AJP) - North Korea's Foreign Languages Publishing House recently issued a collection of postcards showcasing the natural landscapes of Mount Kumgang, one of the Korean Peninsula's most revered and picturesque mountains.

Mount Kumgang, often translated as "Diamond Mountain," is a majestic range in North Korea's Kangwon Province, celebrated for its dramatic granite peaks, cascading waterfalls, and serene valleys.

Revered in Korean culture for centuries, the mountain was once a symbol of inter-Korean cooperation, hosting a popular tourist resort for South Koreans until political tensions halted visits in 2008.
