The Ryugyong Hotel is an unfinished 105-story, 330-metre-tall (1,080 ft) pyramid-shaped skyscraper in Pyongyang, North Korea. The Hotel building itself is still unfinished and there is no public date when, or if, it will host its first guest. Nevertheless, the building became the talk of the town after it received a facelift. Light designer Kim Yong-il transformed the building into an epitome of beauty by installing 1,00,000 LED lights which flash images of famous statues and monuments, bursts of fireworks, party symbols and political slogans. The building does not have any electricity inside and as a result it turns into an excellent backdrop for these splendid light shows. The change in the events has certainly turned the Ryugyong as a symbol of pride and North Korean creativity.
