Moranbong or Moran Hill (literally "PeonyHill", often "PeonyPeak")[1] forms a park located in central Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. Its 312-foot (95 m) summit is the location of the Pyongyang TV Tower.[2]
There are multiple monumental structures located on Moran Hill. They include the Arch of Triumph, Kim Il-sung Stadium, and Kaeson Revolutionary Site. At the foot of the hill is the Jonsung Revolutionary Site, which conveys the "revolutionary achievements" of President Kim Il-sung and the Hungbu Revolutionary Site which is associated with the history of leader Kim Jong-il and includes trees bearing slogans written during the independence revolutionary struggle.

The area surrounding the hill is now a recreation area, including the Moranbong Theatre, the Kaeson Youth Park, an open-air theatre in the Youth Park, the Moran Restaurant, an afforestation exhibition and a small zoo. The Okryu Restaurant is also located nearby.[3]

The river winds down from the northwest, curves almost due south around the wooded hill to the north of the old town known as Moranbong (Peony Peak), and then girds the eastern and southern boundaries of the city proper before swinging westward to the sea. The rock cliffs of Moranbong, the mid‑stream wooded islets, the broad tree‑lined quays and the undulating countryside all add up to a pleasant vista.
