Rare Photos Reveal What North Koreans Do For Fun

The Western world is absolutely fascinated by North Korea — tourists from all over the world take great risks visiting the isolated land with its secrets too good to pass up. Within the secrecy, unknown to most of the world, is what North Koreans enjoy as entertainment.

Not ones to disappoint, North Koreans show tourists attractions like the Pyongyang Central Zoo and Circus. There, animals from across the globe are on display to the delight of both citizens and tourists alike.

The zoo and circus are tourist spots for wealthy citizens and curious foreigners, according to Barcroft.

And although the shows were certainly entertaining, tourists are often unable to discern if they were truly amused or if their fanfare and applause is part of the show as well.

According to the photographer, “I was surprised about number of guests in Pyongyang Circus. The best seats in the mid section were occupied by foreigners. The rest was 80 percent military. Almost all seats were taken. The show was fantastic and lasted around an hour. Some breathtaking moves on ropes in the air, flips on turning iron-wheels and a little flying-hat-game with a foreigner participating made the crowds applause.”
