Huge fountains in middle of Taedong River and 'sinister' uncompleted 104-floor pyramid hotel (Ryugyong Hotel) in the background dominates the strangely silent skyline of Pyongyang. This hotel reminded me of the Last Redoubt in William Hope Hodgson's The Night Land. With nine revolving restaurants and a height of 330m, it could have been one of the world's most impressive buildings, but construction stopped in 1992.
